”Of course BT are set to do away with the traditional battery powered 'landline' by 2025. Such is do called progress. Should not be a problem as long as you have an internet connection and a power supply.”

So how do you have an internet connection, wi-fi, etc. without a landline? This is the first I’ve heard of it - how’s it going to work?

Steve, we’re like you, our landline is now for internet connection only, we both use our fobile moans (thanks Sen, I like that!) all the time and we’ve got everyone calling us on those. I’ve unplugged my landline phones, except for the main one which has the answering machine in it - if it rings, we don’t answer it, we just let it go to voicemail, it’s almost invariably a nuisance call anyway nowadays.
