I, for one
need a land line. I am constantly forgetting my cell phone, or forgetting to turn it from vibrate/silent to on, or forgetting to bring it inside from my golf bag, golf cart, etc. If it's in my purse, where on earth did I leave my purse?
I think it's easier for men, who always keep it on their belt or in their pocket. I often wear clothes without a belt or a pocket.
When/if I have the big one (heart attack or stroke), I will feel much better if I can crawl to where I know the land line phone is located, or send one of my visiting granchildren to call 911. Also, if a visitor or a grandchild has a medical emergency, I will know where the phone is.
I have Centurylink land line (very basic, around $20 per month, plus DSL plus Directv with bundled service (a $5 discount). I still get 2 bills - Centuryline has the DSL and landline on it (guess they could never figure out the bundled billing), and a Directv bill.
