The Indian scammers won. 20 times a day I am called. Phone company won't suspend service without cancelling everything else, so I dropped the phone and am assured I can restart the same number in a month. So here goes nothing.

We haven't had a landline phone for over 10 years. Haven't missed it once.

Phone and internet is only a few dollars more than just internet.

We're thinking of dropping our landline & cable TV. I feel like an idiot for not having done it already. We have Comcast/Xfinity which costs us about $185/month, and we watch NO TV at all, and half or more of our communication is via cell phone (voice/text).
We can get 5G internet through T-Mobile, our wireless provider, for $50/month, and it seems like any network TV stations that we might have an interest in watching are available through various online sources, i.e., Roku, etc. However, I just bought some tickets for the billion dollar Megamillions drawing coming up on Friday, so all of these potential cost savings will soon become insignificant background noise. ![]() |

I used to have a personal line, business line, and fax line. I dropped the fax line because of all the junk faxes.....spammers beat me. I dropped the business line when I got divorced and didn't need to separate personal and business anymore, but I still get business calls every blue Moon on the house line, even though most everyone has my cell number too. I do still use the fax on occasion.
I'll just give it two or three weeks, then have it turned back on and see if that stops the scam calls. |

You must not do much business with the Feds... much of the communication I do with the military is via fax because there is no option if there needs to be a hard copy on their end. Although we do receive the POs by e-mail.....

I gave up the landline about 10 years ago. Then I cut the cord figuratively when I ditched DirecTV 3 years ago, and now I have actually cut the cord completely by dumping Cox cable internet about 3 months ago. I already had a Verizon cell phone so I got 5G home internet for my internet service for $25/mth. Runs all my wifi devices, computers, and TV streaming with no issues at all.
Now I have all these boxes attached to the side of my house doing absolutely nothing. ![]() |
