  1. Another reason you don’t need a landline.
    We have a landline but it’s hardly used, so it’s pretty redundant.
    They tell you all the reasons you need a landline and yet bell was will to leave mine off for a repair for almost 5 days.
    If you can live without it for 5 days , you can go 30 days.
    If you can go 30 days you just don’t need it!

    1. its all fun and games until the cell phone towers are down during an emergency because they met capacity.

  2. I still have a landline because it came as part of a bundle from Bell , I can’t remember the last time I have use it or even heard it ring , I think it may be time to get a new bundle without it.

  3. Hate to say it, but this is really clever. The scammers are getting more sophisticated in their tactics.
