Everyone already has cellphones, so a landline is an extra monthly cost for something that you're already paying for.

  Unless you're of a certain age. People that already had long established landlines continue to pay for them even after getting a cell phone. And people still call them on those numbers as thats the number people know and remember vs just storing a cell number in their contacts. Also, for people getting an internet signal from the phone company (DSL), the landline was usually bundled in a package. They tried to make them viable for as long as possible.

    All the houses with grandparents in my family have lost landlines since all the grandparents have phones. Even the older grandmas who did not go past grade school who do not know a non English non Latin language like to use their WhatsApp to consume media from their cousins and other friends/relatives. And of course, FaceTiming grandkids.
