Recently, my wife and I decided to put all the phones connected to the landline into “no ring” mode. We turned on the answering machine and am filtering calls. We were so tired of getting political calls and other miscellaneous calls — some asshole has or keeps using our number for filing things and we get all of the calls from the debt collection agencies.
Everyone whom is important to us has our respective mobile phone numbers, so we have told them to just call us on our mobiles. It’s better that way. Do we still need our landline? Yea, for faxing and for the satellite receiver. Plus, that phone number is the one we use on forms and stuff.
Do you have a landline? Why or why not?

If you have directv, the phone line is no longer required, unless you want to use PPV. And for that you can also use ethernet jack instead…
