I think we might just give up on having a home phone. It's cheap enough with VOIP ($10/mo with #TekSavvy) but we rarely use it anymore and should migrate the last couple of people that call us on it to our cellphones.

Are we the only folk alive using their home phone as their main phone. My wife and I share a cell phone to take for emergencies or when travelling or to phone home and rarely give out the number.

OTOH we were very early personal computer adopters with an Osborne 1.

We have a conventional land line from TekSavvy (along with DSL) but I do not see it listed on their current offerings, perhaps because their VOIP option is cheaper. You could always inquire.

@the5thColumnist #TekSavvy has a landline option, but it doesn't say if it's on or off contract.

That link took me to their VOIP option

@the5thColumnist oh sorry, of course. I was rushing and forgot it was only VOIP. Oops!

Voiply is one option, never heard of them. Primus have a plan via Costco, but it says 5c/minute?

@YurkshireLad Same here. "Landlines" come via the DSL router.
