landline

Here's why you're having trouble reaching local businesses.

The figures are climbing. In 2012 about 36 percent of American households did not have a landline. Five years before that, the number was 16 percent. I think there are a few reasons people still have one. They may have poor cell phone reception at home, or maybe have an alarm system that requires them to have one...

After looking over the most recent cable bill, which includes our internet and land line phone service, we decided maybe it's time to say goodbye to the landline.
