Re: Do you still have a landline?
I still have my landline number but since the NBN fibre arrived it is purely a VOIP line. (One of lifes little pleasures was telling Telstra to stick their landline and its outrageous rental where the sun don't shine.)I use my mobile for everything because it is so much cheaper than the landline ever was. I pay $25 (£13) per month for unlimited 4G calls, texts and MMS plus 2Gb of data. This also includes unlimited calls, texts and MMS to 10 overseas countries like the USA, UK and Malaysia.
Often I call my brother in the UK or a friends in the USA or Malaysia to chat for an hour or so.
Certainly no landline is even close to being as economical and certainly not as portable (Doh!).
Two of my kids have never had a landline. When I think of the money I spent getting a phone connected when I was renting I don't blame them.

Times sure have changed.

Re: Do you still have a landline?
Yes, my landline is tied to my internet package, but I would keep it anyway. I get 500 minutes a month free to call anywhere in Europe, plus one outside Europe. All calls within Spain are free. I rarely make calls on my mobile, only when necessary.
