Where does everyone stand on this? I still have one, but am contemplating getting rid of it. What does everyone else do?
I'm interested on everyone's thoughts as well. I don't plan on ever having a land line, and am even considering removing wiring in rooms that are being remodeled
We got an additional line added to our cell account for this very purpose. It's like $10 a month with a free phone. We programmed our numbers and friend's numbers into the phone. Told our friends if you ever get a call from this number, answer it at all costs.We have one. My wife's aunt that watches the kids at times does not have a cell phone.
But then what will the politicians call?? Won't someone think of the politicians!?!We have one, but not for long. The only people using it are telemarketers and politicians.
We've been ready for a while, but haven't pulled the trigger. With a baby on the way, I don't think this phone is a good idea for election season.
Overall, I don't see much benefit to having a landline anymore, unless you just like spending extra money.
Then ADT finally presented a solution where the security alarm basically runs off of a cellular device they installed
I held out for a several years because I need a fax and we have a security alarm. Then ADT finally presented a solution where the security alarm basically runs off of a cellular device they installed and I got an eFax that I share with someone else in my business (it costs about $15/mo between two of us).
Within the last year, most of the alarm companies that service the houses in this area have been asking customers to switch to the cellular alarms. Apparently the thieves have figured out that it's pretty simple to walk up to the dmarc box and unplug the phone service.
