This post is just a conversation starter, nothing too serious. I still have a landline, but I also have a cell phone. But I think lots of people are choosing to get rid of their landline. Do you still have one? Do you think in the near future that people will stop using them altogether? Do you feel landlines are a good thing or an old fashioned thing?

Yes I have a landline as well as a cell phone also. I use my landlines whenever I'm home, never use my cell at home.

When we retired 07/2019 and moved to Texas, we decided to use only our cell phones. Haven't regretted it at all.

I will have my landlines until I die.

I still have a "land line", but it's not the traditional, hard wired "land line" of the past. It's thru AT&T U-verse, which I believe is VOIP.
Regardless, I don't use it. It's on "do not disturb" mode so callers can't even leave a voicemail message. They get a rapid busy tone for 5 seconds and then the call is disconnected. Anyone that I want to actually talk to has my cell number. Boy, has it made election and medicare open enrollment season nice and quiet!
Why do I still have it? Simple. Bundling with internet service makes it significantly less expensive to keep it than get rid of it.

I got rid of the landline several years. The phone company would not or could not fix the static on the line. Seems we were the last ones on the junction box and they didn't want to bother replacing it for one person.

Unfortunately, polical calls don't just happen on landlines. I must have gotten 2 - 4 political text messages every day for the last several months.
