Hmm. This isn’t so surprising to me. I got rid of my home phone back in 2004.

How about you? Do you still have one? If so, why? If not, when did you get rid of it and why?

@TheRealDelia We had a home phone while the children were in school so there was one number they needed to memorize. We kept it longer because during a hurricane, the cell towers were down but we could still reach family through the land line with a corded phone.

@ChippySuave Makes sense. Do you still have one now?

At the time I got rid of mine, I was driving to work in a town 1 & 1/2 hours away, so I was gone all during the week. I got tired of coming home to a zillion telemarketing calls on my answering machine.

@TheRealDelia We do still have one though honestly, we don't actively use it. I think it's been at least a decade since anyone has answered a call on it. LOL

Same about the answering machine. it's been full for years. I don't see the point in clearing it. Anyone who we want to talk to knows to call the cell numbers.

The land line is just an in case kind of thing.
