Now, today, it's done. Please don't call my old landline number anymore

It's about time...

I broke down a couple of years ago. The transition was smooth & have no regrets.

Great, I still haven't. I am probably the only person in the world without a cell phone. I make very few calls and get even less. I keep it because every company wants to know your phone #.

I much prefer landlines. Clearer reception, no radiation.

You will soon, I was a part of your club till a few months ago.
Still trying to learn the iphone.
Needless to say, still have a landline phone.
Gets tons of Scammers of it tho, sometimes i disconnect it or let the "unavailable' blurps get the answering machine.

I don't think I've ever made a call on a landline, come to think of it. Had a flip phone until the iPhone released, which I saved every penny I could to afford to the first one.

I have a hard time picturing life without an iPhone (or similar) now. There is much to be said for slower-paced living and disconnecting from the world sometimes, but I wouldn't be able to hold a job and do what I need to do in the modern world we live in without one. Best money I spend is the iPhone.

It was around 50 dollars a month. But, like I said, I heard it ring but all of my landline-cordless phones have been dead for about a yr. And I only averaged a few calls on it, a year, for many years before that.
