    Seriously though the justification most old people have that they keep a landline "for emergencies" is probably greatly outweighed by the landline being a giant open door for spammers and scammers aimed at their exact demographic

        A very frustrating thing about the generation gap here is how old people still think of someone calling you at your landline as the most respectable and official way someone can get in touch with you when in fact it's by far the least

        I wish that my inlaws kept a landline. They have a VOIP and cable goes out when the wind blows (they live in an area with many wind turbines, do the math) and their cell phone service is spotty at best. #ruralpeopleproblems

        At this point, robocall scams are doing this to all types of phone based voice calls, landline or otherwise.

        True, but ime the landlines get it worse. My parents don't even pick theirs up anymore because the odds of a useful call are so slim. (Which has meant calling a few elderly relatives back a week late, but… eh)

        For a lot of rural folks cell service just isn't good enough still. Heck I'm near a provincial capital (Victoria BC Canada) and I often have to go outside and wave my cell phone around to find service. So there are definitely reasons.

        Hear! Hear! I'm in rural Nova Scotia, and I have to wander up the hill, in my hayfield, like I'm playing Pokemon Go, to get a signal. And quite frankly, it's a bit too cold now. VOIP doesn't work, nor does hooking into my wifi. I don't want a landline . . .

        My parents landline is because they live on a mountain and the cell service is spotty af. I’ve missed work texts there because they didn’t come thru some times but came thru others. So there are legit reasons to have a landline buuuut

        I have to keep reminding my grandma that no, the scammer on the phone isn't disconnecting your Internet, because they aren't even claiming to be from the isp that your Internet is being provided by.
