With the advancement of technology over the past decade in cellphones to smartphones, instant messenger, Skype and what-not. I haven't the need for a phone dedicated landline. I would think yes for a business but for home.......
What do yous think? You think you still need a paid home landline? When was the last time you remember using one? You think it will become obsolete? Any other thoughts?
The only reason I brought it up was because I've heard quite a few radio ads mentioning it in their deals.

Yes, I still have a landline. Clarity of the calls is certainly a large factor. Only in the last couple of years have cell phones been usable in my area. With a landline, you don't have to look for a minimum number of "bars" - you just pick up and start dialing.

I do. I'm just coming out of a fucked up satellite internet contract and the only Internet provider available to me has a monopoly on my area. I believe I have to have one in order to get the other

Hmmmm. That's one hell of a good question.
I have a friend who is a contractor; I'll have to ask him what his take on it is. I know he got rid of his hardline.
