Haven't had one in fifteen years. I do remember my home phone number from forty-five years ago. My father has had the same number since 1976.

It's the only phone I have.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

I have had a land line since got married and moved out of my parent house 42 years ago. I was required to have a home phone for my job since 1988 even thought they didn't pay for it. I got my first cell phone in 1990 I believe it was? My cell number I don't give to just every body. All the places that want a phone number for every thing now days get the land line number. last few years at work almost every one was using cell phones.. The city put in this staffing system that robo called when they needed over timers or had and extra alarm fire. It drove them crazy that I wouldn't give them my cell number to put in the system. I was required to have a phone line and did. Was not required to sit by the phone when off duty waiting for it to ring for OT or extra alarm. So basically the guys that only have a cell phone are now carrying a pager.. My sister had the same kind of a deal. She kept her land line for the same reason until she became a supervisor. She now has just cell.. So I still have the land line and is mostly none family that uses it. I could get rid of it now that I'm not working. Is all part of internet package and I do still make most out going calls on it when I'm home. Guess still old school that way. Just got rid of last corded phone about month ago have 4 cordless now. Why? Caller ID on them.
