Do I have a landline? Yes I do, because its more reliable AND if I needed to call emergency services it is actually easier to locate you with a landline at home.. It is less accurate with a cellular mobile phone, especially if you don't remember where you are. its great to have both for multiple reasons
we still use a VOIP landline through OOMA. I only pay tax so my bill is around $5 per month. I often get ribbed for still having a landline, but our cellphones are prepaid mobile.
He wasn’t talking about paying over $100 for just a landline and nothing else from a company.
We’ll let her speak for herself, then. And I WAS talking about paying a huge amount for only a landline (which is why I mentioned that we had previously paid $70 for it).

Totally agree and if my phone lines didn't date from 1956 and were reliable, I would, too.

He was talking about paying over $100 to obtain a triple package deal of internet, cable TV, and landline phone – usually from a cable TV company – where the landline often comes free with the triple deal.

(if I understand him correctly, that is – because I had mentioned the triple package option I get from xfinity/Comcast - not suggesting that he get this - but just mentioning how it is packaged)
I was, thank you for clarifying that. The building I live in is only connected to Comcast. I've been calling around for a stand alone landline service, but unless you get the triple package deal, they're expensive. So far I haven't found one that I want to waste money on. I'm rarely on the phone unless it's to call my mom or a friend and for that, the Skype worked great (won't work anymore with XP, though).
And I am a her!

I apologize - this is the first time I've gotten back to check this thread.
Sometimes it's really hard to determine if a poster is a he or a she. In this day and age, even mentioning a husband or wife isn't a guarantee that a poster is the opposite sex. Maybe an indicator, like a blue or pink dot next to one's name would be helpful.
