I'd be OK without one, except that our landline handsets are capable of a combination of hands-free and increase volume, which taken together mean I can easily hear conversations.
My mobile also has an app which automatically turns on hands free when a call is initiated and received. This helps, but even at maximum volume it's a bit of a strain. Obviously privacy, using the phone as a phone while out and about is affected!
We pay Vodafone £20 for the fibre broadband and landline package, plus £1 for caller ID and £8 for "anytime calls", making the package £29 per month.
WE NEVER use eight quid's worth of outgoing landline calls in a month and really it's a complete waste of money.
I am trying hard to persuade Dee that we should do without the anytime calls element and rely on our giffgaff goody bag's 250 minutes per month, per mobile.
She likes the "security blanket" of a fixed cost all-in landline feature though.
The fact that she struggles to answer an incoming mobile call before it goes to voicemail may also be a factor. (I've already increased to maximum the number of rings, or seconds, before voicemail kicks in)
