Not at all. If I wasn't carrying a phone, I wouldn't need one. My home
phone now is redundant since I took up mobiles 2 decades+ ago. The only
reason I have a home phone is that it is part of a default bundled
internet plan. People can now reach me whereas it was nigh on impossible
with only a home phone available. It has to be said, I make very few
outgoing calls, even now. Just Doctor appointments, travel arrangements,
etc.


My bundled internet came with phone. The only time a phone has ever
been plugged in was to test one that I was taking to my mother's house
to diagnose trouble with her internet phone.

My husband and I use our cell phones exclusively.


I do too now, but there are still a few who only have my landline
number so I still have a phone on that line. Only ever get a spam
call on it every couple of weeks or so now. Maybe one call from
someone who only has my landline number every couple of years.


If you ported your land line over to your cell phone you will get as
many robo calls as anyone else in that LATA. They dial all 10,000
numbers.
