That's not the only reason you keep it, though, is it?

Why would it impress anyone and why would you want to impress?

Seriously confused

I agree, I've found some companies etc won't deal with anyone only using a mobile they want a land line to prove you are who you say you are.

Re: Do you still have a landline?

Yes I like using a landline phone as I feel more comfortable making calls on it generally speaking.
Particularly regarding security.

Re: Do you still have a landline?

Got rid of mine around three months ago - objected to paying line rental for the thing for a number of years especially as I didn't use it. It was only ever good for getting nuisance calls which were numerous and frequent but because the phone-line was tied to my Virgin TV package I was forced to keep it. The final straw came when Virgin put up their prices yet again so I cancelled the phone and TV and now just have cable broadband and use Freeview on the odd occasion I watch TV.

That, thankfully, is a problem I've never run into.
