Day one without a landline :)

[LukeBird]

I’ve got elderly in-laws with more health issues than Mr Burns. We’ve had several early morning calls where we’ve needed to rush over to one of them. Most of the time our signal is just about ok but it can just disappear. Despite numerous complaints to Virgin/o2 it’s never been sorted. Losing the landline would be unthinkable currently.

Enable WiFi calling on your iPhone?
Mobile signal in my house can be a little ropey, but it’s crystal clear when on WiFi.
Settings > mobile service > WiFi calling if you’re unaware.
I never used the landline when I moved in here, just went straight to fibre.

Calling the unaswerable doctors yesterday I used my land line and mobile for a better chance to get through.

If the signal goes I still have a phone, plus its clearer and easier to hear with.

If my mobile battery goes down I still have a phone.

Nuisance call I dial 14258 and auto block it.

I only use it for UK calls.

It costs me £30 a month for Broadband,TV and land line.

I got my first mobile phone in 1997. Some time after that I moved out of my parents’ house. I’ve never had a landline. I miss it about as much as I miss cheques.

Zen swapped me over to voip a few months ago. The landline costs £6/month for free calls. Prefer it to mobiles any day.

Not had a landline in 15 years. My parents insist on keeping theirs, despite both having mobiles closer to hand.
