About ready to drop our land line phone forever. About all we get are scam callers.

I’m keeping my landline ‘cause if the electricity goes out, I can still make and receive calls using the corded phone I keep in my desk drawer as a back up to the cordless phones and cell phones.

It won’t be any better with the cell phones. Now their calling with local 0refixes to trick you. If you don’t answer then they call in 2’s and 3’s back to back with similar local numbers

Between the scam calls, election/political calls and reaching 65 and eligible for Medicare calls, we pulled the plug on the landline in early October.

Not sure that will help anymore. I was clearing out the call log on my cell phone last week and counted 15 scammers calling me during that time. IIRC, there were two different scams. One group offering to sell me Medicare supplemental insurance (I'm not old enough for Medicare yet) and the other group was telling me that "your phone has been selected for a free trip" to some hotel in East Overshoe.

At least the robo-calls for air duct cleaning that show up on my VOIP "landline" with some regularity haven't migrated to my cell phone. Well, not yet anyway.
