AT&T will obsolete landlines by 2020

[FuzzyRabbit]

89. Jodymarie, I'm with you. I prefer my old landline phone service.

Here is why I prefer it:

1 - The phone always works. I had landline phones from when I was a kid until 2017, 71 years. Guess what? Even during power outages lasting days, the phone always worked.

How often do you have to recharge your cell phone battery? How do you make a call when your phone battery is dead?

2 - Old landline phones, like my 70 year old rotary phone, have MUCH better sound quality than the best cell phones. And this was with 70+ year old copper wiring to the house.

Digital sound quality is much better than it used to be, but it is still not as clear as a land line and my old Western Electric 302 phone.

3 - Old landline phones are indestructible. They last for decades, like my old 70 year old rotary phone.

Nearly everyone I know has to replace their cell phone every year or two, either because it breaks or because the electronics malfunction.
