In my area, they seem to be doing away with landlines, at least in apartment complexes.
The house we bought, built in 2017, has no phone jacks in it. Makes me so mad!
I think that’s what they did here when we moved. It would’ve been very expensive to get a landline put in. I wanted one, but hubby said let’s try out the voip. It works most of the time. We have cellular after that. These days, I don’t think a landline is worth the money. We rarely use our VOIP anymore, although we occasionally do. It’s good to have it as an option sometimes.
