For all the “who needs a landline”, I wish most of my friends/family would use one as the quality over mobile and sorry to say, many VOIP (especially Skype) options is frankly shite.
Breakup, glitches, quality drops as bitrate goes down. VOIP and Skype have terrible delay or echo.
And does my head in with work conference calls, especially again when they insist on using Skype. Can’t understand a thing.
Also a long call at home with mobile stuck to head I really do notice the heat. I could do speakerphone, but that’s another irritation. Like people on speakerphone calling radio shows and all the time they have to be asked to pick up the phone as it’s just really annoying with break ups and barely audible.
Anyway, at home I use the landline to call people and I try to get them to call my landline. I do however have VOIP for my business number just to get a different number but I let that run to answerphone, as there’s never anything important people call my business number for anyway.
