    Just to clarify, not many actually have a real copper cable wired landline. It’s been slowly converted to a voice over up for years now.
    Chances are, if it’s bundled through your internet or cable or steaming provider, you have digital VoIP & will not work with vintage phones requiring pulse tone.

      The negative of a landline beiblng a lot cheaper than a cell phone, is if you need to make a fair amount of long distance calls. Use caller ID, and just let those unrecognized calls go to the answering machine! Yeah- that tech still works like a charm.

      Actually, there was a massive Dutch study a few years ago that debunked cell phones as a cancer source. Makes sense, as cell phone signals are what's known as non-ionizing radiation. (doesn't rip body cells a new one and cause cancer) Ionizing radiation is stuff like emissions from, say, Plutonium or Uranium. Radioactive stuff.

    While I agree they may be a good idea as a backup, most phone calls don't make it very far as an analogue signal over copper anymore, they will ultimately be digitized and sent through fiber essentially over the internet. Believing that there is any additional strength or long-term resiliency to a landline in disaster situations is a little foolish. And I'm no more of a supporter of big tech or surveillance than anyone else. I'd love to have real, simple phone options again.

      @@danram247 well, in the US rural America is slowly but surely getting fiber usually through electric cooperatives. That means that people can subscribe to voip services that are a better value with better customer service than the big companies. It offers the same simplicity of being able to pick up a phone and call somebody within seconds but is much cheaper and is probably a bit more reliable depending on the condition of the copper network in your area. In my case, the copper network from our local phone company is falling apart and everybody I know has switched over to the Voip service offered by our local electric cooperative alongside the broadband from the same.

    So we're based in either LOVE, or HATRED here, as us around, as the humans, and also the animals here, in our thinking and feeling here too, and do it in separation energies, as the HATRED ONES, or uniting energies, as the LOVER ones, and laugh equally much, talk equally much, and do equally much here, but one of them wants to WARD OFF the other one around, so that it says that it doesn't exist, as it here, and then tape it on, to the other one, to be itself here, so it trades places, and then goes OFF on us around, as the ones based in LOVE here, all of it too, ok!!! So that we don't get to go and do anything here, at all, as us around, but it's all about the ones based in HATRED here, which says that they don't exist, and then they only get to go in 3 layers out of 8, and do what they do here, and the rest of us, don't get to go here AT ALL, for them here, as they are based in JELLOUSY, AND ENVY here, the whole time too, so that they get very sad and down and out, as soon as we do something here around, as the ones based in LOVE, as that they get to imagine, that life is BETTER for the ones with the love on, around here, whatever that is, we don't know???!!! We then get discontinued as a race here, as the human race around, and have no babies on any more at all, as that we're THAT ENDED ON, as the ones in LOVE here, and always talked about, and honed about here, all of it too, and NEVER LEFT ALONE HERE, OT DO ANYTHING AT ALL, EVER HERE TOO, OK!!! So the phone is such a thing, as that one is based in the LOVE energies, and the other ones are based in the HATRED energies here, all of it too, so the LANDLINE is based in the LOVE energies, but the cellphone, and also the head set, the hands free phones here, and all the rest of it, except for just the landline here, which we used to have here, so MUCH, are based in HATRED here, all of it too, ok!!! So now we don't phone with the love energies here at all, so speech gets a bit weirder, and shorter here too, as that LOVE has all of the words, but HATRED has it a bit more as short and fast, phrases and words, and also short versions of the words around, which we don't understand on the insides, what they mean, or is here at all, ok!!! So then we have the internet, and some sights are based in the LOVE energy, and also other sights are based in the HATRED energy here, where it goes in different forms, and paces here too, all of it too, with a flung attitude on, or not so much at all, where we take it more seriously to survive around here, without the flungness, and don't say it out, all of it that we think and feel here too, as it hurts when people say you off, and you can't hurt someone that much, and they'll still stick around and be your friend here, at all, ok!!! But in HATRED they don't care, as that they have collected all of the functions and mechanics of the people and places, and animals and things here too, so that they just tank it up with more content, when they have said people OFF, so that they have it easy as that to return and come back here too, to the ones who's said it out loud, what they think and feel in a negative way, about people and places, and things that hurts you here, all of it too, ok!!! So the ones in HATRED thinks that GOODNESS doesn't exist here at all, and has said it OFF here completely, so that it doesn't get to go, and do funner things here, at all, but just hang out, and service the ones in EVIL around, all of it too, as that they've mistaken themselves in EVIL, one more time, and just says it according to ENVY, and JEALLOUSY, that the event, people, and place, plainly doesn't exist, at all, to get rid of it, and it's mechanics here, that's disturbing to the intellect, if they have it good here, or not, as them around, that they don't know, but want to have it BEST here, without including all of the organs, and what they want and need here too, for them to get to it, in an easy way here, all of it too!!! So they've PLAINLY said it out loud, that only EVIL exists, and NOT GOODNESS here at all, and that it's just full of people eating COOKIES here, whatever that means, we don't know, and that they don't have any mechanics to destroy something with here, at all, in the entire plane of GOODNESS here, all of it too, and that it's NOT roughly the same, with EVIL and GOODNESS, but just 2 sides of the same coin around, at all, ok!!! So 1 doesn't get to eat around here, at all, right now, as that the other one is basing itself so MUCH in ENVY here, and just said it OFF, with the needs of the 2nd one here, all of it too, that it doesn't exist, and then don't have any needs here, at all!!! So what happens is that the 1st one, as the ones in EVIL here, and everything which looks like it, has a HARD time to get liked around, as that the other ones actually doesn't eat now, as that they were so FAST with the ENVY around, to steal it all with, and they are NOT POPULAR here, right now then, but owns the world, with their current of HATRED here, it's supposed to be, so that we only have it in hatred on the phones here now, and wonder what's happened around, as that we all like LOVE here too, as everyone around, but don't back on HATRED here either, even if the TV, goes at it with LOVE here the whole time, to end on it's usage here, all of it too, whatever that is, we don't know???!!! So please let go of this HATRED speech here right now, and put back LOVE where it's supposed to be!!! Do it NOW too, please, everyone who stole it's space!!! DO IT NOW PLEASE, IT'S AN ORDER FROM HIGHEST COMMAND!!! Nike 1!!! Thank you!!! // J

      So the languages English, and then also Swedish, is 2 of the different currents, that we use around here, and English goes on the LOVE current, and Swedish goes on the HATRED current around, all of it too, but was possible to swap it out, with the Swedish here, so that we also can use it with the LOVE current around, but most people, only speak it with the HATRED current here, all of it too, ok!!! So when we speak in English, we speak MUCH, and OFTEN, and little not at all, ok, but when we speak with the HATRED current, we speak about everything but just emotions, and feelings and thoughts, as that we get to think that we're something else than a human, here, as that we're separated from the human around, all of it too, ok!!! We are SICK OF THIS NOW, that we also need to use the HATRED current, for something as important as speaking, where it's not possible to speak so much, as that we're separated from it, as a notion, and an energy force here, and it doesn't come on as possible here then, to get heard on, spoken to, and dealt with here at all then, ok!!! So please LET US OUT OF IT, TO HAVE TO SPEAK IN THE CURRENT OF HATRED HERE, AS THE ONES FROM LOVE AROUND, OK!!! But everyone who wants it, can do it here then, but not otherwise, as it gets dry, and boring, and also WITHOUT content here too, ok!!! So learn to speak, but only in a language that's based in LOVE here, all of it too, and then if it's not based in LOVE, then don't even for fuck's sake, go to school here at all, ok!!! So please let us out of this here now, and don't language stalk us here too, as you around, from the Evil and hatred side of things, stop it now too, ok!!! STOP IT!!! Thank you!!! So there's 2 major parts here, as EVIL and GOODNESS, and then one side of EVIL lives and has it going on in LOVE, and then the other side of EVIL has it going on in HATRED here!!! And then we have the side of GOODNESS, which is similar to EVIL in it's structure here, with acid washing of everything around, and such, and then one side of GOODNESS lives in LOVE, and then the other side of GOODNESS lives and has it going on in HATRED here, all of it too, ok!!! But EVIL has it reserved on, to go as the bad asses here, all of it too, and says that the other side is MEEK and GENDER, as the GOODNESS side, and only lives in LOVE here, all of it too, but it's not true that LOVE is MEEK and GENDER, and GOODNESS also lives in HATRED here, all of it too, as for example Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Julia Roberts, and so on and so forth, who all has it good, and going on, in the hatred ways of thinking here, all of it too, which is ok, and all right, as long as that they also get to exist here, for EVIL around, and don't just have to almost NOT EAT here, right now, as that EVIL doesn't recognize them as anything here, at all, and cuts it short, like that around, of who's who, around here, all of it too, ok!!! So can we please let go of it, as everyone around, of what's here, and what's not, in the other ones around, but maybe look at ourselves, of what we bring here too, and then allow the other ones to be here too, ok!!! So can we please make it so that the people who lives and speaks, and thinks and has it going on in LOVE, gets to have it all going on in only LOVE here, to speak and do things here, and not just HATRED here at all, as that the ones, who lives in HATRED doesn't need to use LOVE here, at all, ever here too, as that it's hard to tune into, if you're not there, in the first place around, just like HATRED, for the ones who lives in LOVE here now!!! So please let go with the speech, thinking and feeling here too, to have it run in one or the other current here now, but make it a private business, of what you use here, to talk, think and feel with, as an outside current of either LIFE FORCE ENERGY, or DEATH FORCE ENERGY, which are BOTH accepted on as the driving forces here, all of it too, ok!!! So it all makes the bodies, and the rest of it function well, but has a few different ways to work it out, with, so there's no major disfunction, in either one of the energy forces here, ok, so it's safe to use both around, but won't make you happy here, if your'e forced to use the wrong one for you, ok!!!

      So one tip, to keep it intacter here, as more whole around, as a lifetime, and so, is to regard on your laundry, as a day out, or not around, ok!!! So do laundry today, tomorrow, or the next day, when you get to think about it, but not later, as that something's wrong there, in that department here, and if it's not right, then it falls you off, to want to be there, after around about 3 days, of getting to think about it, that it's needed here, ok!!! So what's going on, is that we DON'T separate enough on UNDERWEAR, and REGULAR WEAR, as clothing here, so that the underwear, and it's very distinct energies, of the undergarn organ, gets stuck on the other clothing here too, not just on the undergarments at all!!! And it's disgusting to go and meet with a man, or a women, who's got old vagina and old penis, all over their jacket and suit here too, as in the underwear line, of chuck it all in the same basket here, as the dirty laundry around, ok!!! So suits never end up there, in the laundry basket at all, but the shirt does, and the socks, and then the suit has stinkers energies on it, to hide it where it needs to be hidden, and then remove it, where it exists the most, as the charm of the people here too, not just us around, and then it gets BLAND as fuck, as that we all get blended up to much around, all of it too, and don't like it here then, to go and do, what we used to like to go and do here, all of it too, ok!!! So can someone please let go of the SUIT attacks here too, as that they hide what the man does, that DOESN'T SUIT here too, and then he just gets to go in the essence SUIT, and that's UNSUITABLE here, all of it too, so please let go of these attacks here now, and also the attacks where we put all of the clothing, in the same basket here, and let them blend for a while, as worn and used on, for the undergarn organ, and also for the other organs here, all of it too, which doesn't blend at all, and it gets nasty and dirty looking, in the energy form, all of it too, ok!!! So make yourself happy, and divide up your clothing here, in the hamper, and put underwear in a plastic bag, and the rest of it, in the laundry basket around, as loose and out there, ok!!! Thank you, do this NOW too, so that we don't need to have your driving force energies all over your clothing here, which are NASTY, and not well seen on here at all, ok!!! Thank you!!! // J

    Landlines are on their way out. People just don't see it. There is no profit in landlines anymore for businesses. They won't keep the landlines going once it gets down to 20% of people having a landline. They will just shut off the service.

      They need to keep them. Just because not many people uses them doesn't mean they are not useful. They could be used for secondary communication. You cant rely completely on cell phone service. Good example of what happened in Canada when phone service went down.

      @@coolerking7427 but if the business is not making money off of it there is no point. Also with what happened in Canada with the rogers outage was once in 15 years we have been using cell phones. That incident has been looked into and won't happen again. I honestly can't wait for landlines to be a thing of the past. I'm also sure people thought party lines would be around forever.

      @@dynomite1988 Landlines still work if the power goes out. If a natural disaster happens and the telephone poles are strung across the road as long as the wires are still intact you can still communicate. Your cellphone battery can die, the cell towers can go out, cell towers backup generators usually only last for 4-6 hours. I think we should keep landlines intact, they give you the clearest signal and if you call 911 the emergency services can pinpoint your location because your address is linked with your landline.

      @@khaanadian9648 you see landlines still go out and if a natural disaster happens they will be knocked out too because the poles will be down just like power. Most landlines require power today to work. Most people with landlines have cordless. So once the power goes out so does the phone. With 911 they can get your location quickly with cellphones. I honestly can't wait for landlines to be a thing of the past. Cellphones are progression which is what everyone wants. Once phone companies see they are losing money on landlines they will discontinue them like party lines. Just progression.

      @@khaanadian9648 Also Britain has said they will discontinue traditional landlines as of 2023 I believe. I would have to find the article again. For the people who insist on keeping that landline they can get a VOIP service. The article even said landlines are in a downswing. They are on their way out
