Do some people JUST have a mobile phone?

I JUST have a mobile phone but it has email too

Landline at home is just for broadband; I don't know the actual number.

The BT engineer said he hardly ever goes into a household that uses the landline as phone these days.

My landline is used for incoming calls from family abroad.

I have a mobile phone, email, 120Mbps cable, no landline. Got rid of the landline about 4 years ago and saved the BT rental. don't even have a Virgin phone (or TV).

Get them on Skype and save line rental

The cost of line rental is worth the financial disincentive to relatives considering phoning me.

Plenty of people with a poor credit rating can't get a landline.

You'd think it'd be harder to get a mobile. At least with a landline, they know for certain where you live.

Like a lot of people I only really have a landline for the broadband.

Pay as you go.

I only have a landline because it's required as part of the broadband thing. Ripoff merchants. I get my own back on them by not owning any phones to connect into it, or knowing the number.

All comms via mobile or email. Can't imagine what would happen if the signal vanished for 3 weeks though.

But no email either?

Nope - in-laws ditched the landline and stuck with a basic PAYG mobile. No email, no internet, nothing fancy.

I have it all, landline with 4 different numbers, mobile with 2 numbers and 2 SIM cards although one is in the laptop, semaphore flags, 2 tin cans joined with a piece of string and a supply of long distance runners....

A use pigeons as their secondary message is always as useful as the main one...
