For a lot of subscribers in the US, telephone is bundled with cable TV and internet packages. trying to purchase one or the other or both without the all-in-one bundle is usually more expensive.
Also, at least in my market, I've been seeing a lot of scaremongering ads about how cell phones aren't reliable in an emergency and don't alert LE to your location immediately like dialing 911 from a landline does. It's ironic when these ads are placed by the cable companies which generally use digital telephone products that are susceptible to outages and don't work when the power is out, just like cable.
- michaelt 11y agoEven if you save money by accepting a landline as part of a bundle, doesn't mean you have to plug a phone into the socket.
- joe5150 11y agoThat's true, but I think most people will feel obligated to since they're paying for it anyway, and landline phones are cheap.
- dublinben 11y agoYou should check your cable bundle again. Chances are, they're charging you at least $20 for that digital 'landline' service you don't really use.
