Why not using the actual land line? I still have one. My 13 year old son, who has no phone, uses it and it works. I'm just curious.

- frodo76 6mo agoTinCan owner here. The issue with landlines in my experience is that they quickly become overwhelmed with spam calls. That and the ability to lock down the phone to just a few numbers is the appeal.
- pqs 6mo agoMine, in Spain, is surprisingly free of spam. I receive spam on my mobile phone, which is often blocked by Android, but I don't receive spam on my landline. Strange, isn't it?
- mrweasel 6mo agoDepends on the country, but landlines are no long available for new customers and the cables are actively being removed.
- deltoidmaximus 6mo agoThere are still VoIP services that function essentially the same. I switched to that recently because the real POTS service had been jacked up in price a crazy amount, probably because we were grandfathered into even having it since the company website didn't even seem to offer it anymore.
- pqs 6mo agoWell, I'm sure my landline is not a landline anymore, I'm sure it is some sort of VoIP system, but it doesn't matter, it is a phone with a number, that doesn't leave the living room.
