So what phone does everyone use?

[persia]

We got rid of the home phone a year and a half ago, between mobile phones, skype and the rest the thing was bloody useless, it was tied to one place, charged calls by the distance and kept getting telemarketer calls.  Landlines just have no place in the home.

I just checked, the ADSL2 I have provides a phone line too.  I'll be buggered what the number is, but apparently there's one.  I'll have to check the phone directory on my iPhone to see if something is listed somewhere.  It was cheaper than my old ADSL alone so I just assumed they weren't going to provide a phone (naked ADSL) number too.  

So it's there, it isn't ever going to be used and I don't have an old fashion landline phone left to test it with, so I may never know whether it works or not.

Ever heard of wireless house phones...

or changing your landline supplier...

Or call blocking or ex directory to keep the telemarketers out...

PS: if you have no landline how do you connect to the net

I've had a phone form all three big carriers at one time or another, or at least a sim card from them.  I always end up back with vodafone.
