 Are there downsides to not having a landline? - Stuartli
The only reason I have a landline now is because it's required for fibre broadband (with TalkTalk in this case at £22.50 a month including line rental; Anytime calls to mobiles and landlines would be £5 a month extra).

Otherwise I'd be very happy with using just my mobile (£10 a month with GiffGaff for unlimited calls and texts, plus 3GB of mobile data). The latter is not important as there are so many wi-fi hot spots and I have a VPN (free version of ProtonVPN) for obvious reasons when using them.

The way the cost of communications overall has dropped in recent years by, say, using WhatsApp or Messenger for phone or video calls to anywhere in the world has been quite remarkable.
