 Are there downsides to not having a landline? - smokie
Been paying Virgin for landline for years, and in the past they've said as it's part of a package, my overall cost would go up if I dropped it.

This year it's different apparently. My cost would go down ( - but given they just sent a letter saying prices increase of £3.50 from 1/10 maybe not by as much as I'd hoped!)

Anyway hardly anyone calls us on it, only daughter and brother in law. We never ever use it for outbound calls as the mobile plans are always cheaper.

So why would I keep one these days, when we both have mobiles? (Excepting of course the days when both our networks go down simultaneously or some other unlikely disaster strikes). It isn't required for cable broadband.
