Poll: Do you still have a landline?
Very simple poll, I'm looking to see how much of the Hacker News community uses land lines or has made the jump to cellular only. If you have a particular reason why, state that.
- Sealy 13y agoI have a landline just so I can have broadband (cable is not available where I am). But I do not plug a phone into the socket. I also have a cellphone.
- breadbox 13y agoI was paying more than twice as much for the landline, which was basically an input device that delivered almost nothing but spam. I definitely miss the lack of constant dropouts in the audio, but it wasn't worth that much money (and annoyance).
- bigiain 13y agoI voted "no landline, just a cellphone", which is not _technically_ true, but is true enough in practice. I've got an ADSL internet connection that includes landline service, so I do have a landline phone number, but I have no phone plugged in to it (though there is one in a cupboard) - and I'd have to look up the number to it (and I've never given that number out to anybody).
- OafTobark 13y agoHaven't had a landline since 1997, the year I got my first cell phone. EDIT: Not sure if this counts however. Had a "landline" for my previous startup powered by Ooma (VoIP) so by definition that probably semi-counts
