Landline phone? Does that still exist in new construction? You will need to contact the landline phone company to contract for service. If a re-sale, ask the current owner who they use.

I read on another thread what some Villagers do when they first arrive. They establish a land line and give the number to EVERYONE who is NOT a family member, close friend, and maybe their doctor(s). They keep the ringer off to the landline phone and when convenient for them, check the messages left on it. What a great idea to keep nuisance calls at a minimum!
When we arrive at the Villages this is exactly what we will do, coupled with changing our cell phone numbers and only giving it out to close friends and relatives. Also, there are apparently laws in the works to limit the spam / robo-calls that we all endure.
Although I have not checked it out, a person from my work has a robo-call screening feature on his cell phone. When I call him, a recording requires me to give my name before I can be connected to him. I suppose that those in his contact list do not have to go through this step.
And of course there is the do-not-call registry and we should all be on it. If you are not, go to:
