Another downside to "not" having landline: Many people in the Villages don't have unlimited text and voice. Instead, they have older services provided by companies such as TracPhone, and others. That means they pay for a certain number of minutes per month. After that, the service shuts off and their phone won't work for anything but dialing 911.
If you are in a situation like I'm in right this minute, your monthly minutes would've expired by now. I'm on hold with the home warranty company. I've been on hold for almost an hour, mostly just to see how long it takes for someone to answer. It's my second time trying to get someone to answer.
I'm guessing they won't cover my AC replacement anyway. Thankfully I have unlimited talk and text. But not having unlimited talk and text is actually a thing for many Villagers.
