Who still has landlines?
Lets see, my parents, my grandma, the old couple across the street and…probably McCain. That is about it.
Honestly, I was surprised to see that only 17% of US households are cord-cutters. I am also surprised when my direct TV wanted to activate my account by using a land line. I sarcastically told them that our landline was next to my typewriter.
This study says that smaller, low income families are the ones cutting the cord, while those with money or large families keep the cord going strong. In my opinion it isn’t about money or family size as much as efficientcy and convienience.
I currently use skype, vonage and AT&T for my business lines and personal calls, however, I’m looking into services like Number Garage to just forward my business calls straight to my cell phone. I would love to get into Google’s Grand Central, but they are not allowing sign ups right now.
Do you still have a land line? What does it cost you? Is it weird have two numbers? Do you want my old typewriter?
