Who still has them? I gave mine up about 8 years ago. Moved to a new house, had it added just for a fax machine for work. Never gave the number to anyone, and it wrang all the time. I think my mom is the only one I know who still has one, but she is old school.

Luke 6:22-23
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you, insult you,
and slander your name as evil
because of the Son of Man.
23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy. Take note—your reward is great in heaven, for this is the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.

I have a cell phone land line, does that count?
It was cheaper then the hard line land line that we were using.
May you be treated the way you treat other people, today and everyday!

Have it through FIOS service at home. We have cordless handsets so that we don't have to rely on cellphones in the house, but we don't give thehome number out to anyone.
Still rings alot with telemarketers. When I'm in a mood, I answer and have fun with them.

Our cable / internet provider requires us to have a land line, even though it's a fiber optics system. We don't even have a phone plugged in, so just a $20 a month rip off by ETEX.

I have a special emergency access land-line at no additional cost along with my DSL service; it can receive calls, but only originate calls to toll free numbers or 911. Having the landline avoids the necessity to recite an address for emergency services when calling for them. I figure I won't be able to, and my wife would be in freak-out mode if she had to make such a call.

Sort of.
My Wife's parents got a phone line in 1956(?) and kept it when they moved from one house to another here in Greenville. When my Wife's Mom died and we remodeled the house my Wife kept the line is case old friends wanted to call or someone tried to get in touch.
In the past five years the physical lines to, and in, the house kept screwing up and the phone didn't work more than it did. Last month my Wife had a brilliant idea. She went and got a new iphone and got the house line number for it.
$10.00 a month for an additional line on the cell account is a lot cheaper than what a traditional land line was.

I haven’t had one since 2001. My parents and in-laws do. My boss still does, but he is thinking about getting rid of it. We both work from our homes but I’ve never had one even since I’ve been working from home.
