It used to be in our house. We haven't used it for many years. We canceled the line. Frankly I loved home phones.
I have one. I don't want or need a cellphone, and I'm happy to have "just" a landline. I've always had one and always will... as long as it's still a thing. lol But there have been instances like a massive power outage, and an ice storm where the power was out for 6 days and cellphone transmission towers were dead, but I still had my landline to make calls and call 911 if needed. I even had neighbours come to use my line because I was one of the only ones on the street with a landline. During that time elsewhere in the city and surrounding areas, some people died because they weren't able to call for help, and a a few houses also burned down because no one could make a call with any of their cells.
Besides, things are so much nicer now that my life isn't dictated by this "thing" in my pocket that demands my attention 24/7. I'm living more in the moment in the real world, instead of a virtual one on a little screen, and I'm much happier for it.
I'm perfectly happy with a landline. I've even thought about getting an old rotary phone for my living room. Just like the one I grew up using as a kid.
It's crazy I found this picture. My parents had this exact style of rotary phone and my dad had this exact same book...

There is in the living room in my stepdads and also at my dads , seems like people in their 70s prefer it. I just have a cellphone but a landline is good for a fax machine
It's my only phone. I have never made a call on a cell phone. I've never texted either. I Just never saw the need to.
I have a business land line, really just an extension of my office that is 14 miles away.
Not any more. Last phone line I had was about 10 years ago, and it was only because my home security system required it.
I do but i don't use it its just for decoration 😂
Yep, but they have been inactive for a long time now.
We have one. Our cellphones are only used for work purposes.
My mom might still have one, not sure. I never have
My parents have a landline. I haven't for years.
I have a landline, but its rarely used by me, incoming calls and internet only.

I have always had a landlines phone. It has just recently been added to wifi.
Nope. That said, I'll get one if I find one that looks cute.
We have a modern home phone yes not like the ones we had back in the 90s though lol.
If you live in your car is your car phone a home phone? If you live in a jail cell is your cell phone your home phone?
