Sariana21 08/24/20 4:10:59 PM #10:	Yes. My kids don't have cell phones, and they need to be able to call us on OUR cell phones. (Well, not right now because of SIP, but typically.) My son will be getting a phone as soon as the iPhone 12 comes out, and my daughter may get one next year. After that we may drop our landline. Depends on how it affects our (bundled) cable bill. We don't have a lot of internet options (despite being in the Bay Area), and it might make sense to keep the phone line. --- ___ Sari, Mom to DS (07/04) and DD (01/08); Pronouns: she/her/hers <cite>Sariana21 posted [p:943770874] in Households...

masticatingman 08/24/20 5:02:21 PM #21:	My parents got their landline taken away just a couple years back.
