Can someone explain me why my #ISP Free France has unlimited calls to #landline + mobile to Alaska, Hawaii, Hong Kong, China, Cambodia and Cyprus, but not even to the neighboring countries like Germany, Italy, Spain or Belgium ?

@GrrlScientist I was watching #ABC #LandLine and there was a segment on the Victorian Government reneging on an agreement to allow cutting of native eucalypts, trimming several years off the agreement. Naturally the timber workers and industry are up in arms about it and the environmentalists are ecstatic. What was not mentioned by anyone was the climate change impacts. Somewhat surprising given all the discussion about planting trees and carbon offsets.

One more old telephone thing.

My mother had moved to her last place and didn't want a landline anymore. She had been using a number that she inherited from her mother and that I remember calling as a child. The same number had been in continuous service for 53 years. The Bell agent I called to disconnect even commented on that.

I still have things around the house that show the exchange as ATlantic-8 instead of 288.

I wish I had ported it to virtual and saved it.

Old!

I think it was last connected in 2005.

I was fighting with BellSouth (AKA Southern Bell) about a static problem when it rained. Bell said it was house wiring (inside wiring after this box), so I would have to pay. I knew it it was system wiring because I connected a phone directly to this box and still got static. Company wouldn't bother to come out.

Sign of the times. Have removed the landline and now getting rid (recycling) the telephone handpiece. Don't miss it. ☎️

The interesting side issue of the move from landlines to mobile/smart phones is signage. How are phones displayed on business signs? I've noticed one or two already using a styalised smartphone. 📱 The old 📞 or ☎️ is still widely used.

#ADHD #landline #genX It just occurred to me as I was using my Landline phone to call my cell phone so I could find it after I set it down somewhere 2 minutes ago that I am paying $20 a month just for that feature and it is worth EVERY penny. So yes I still have a landline and now I know why.

When I went into the TMobile store today to get my transfer pin, I had to tell the young man there when he inquired why I wasn't using my smart phone to call it in that I had lost it. "You lost your #phone?!" he said, as if it were the worst thing a person could do. 😂 Maybe to him. I'll have to admit though, I'm getting used to the old familiar sound the phone makes when you physically hang it up in the cradle. I recently started using a #landline and bought a phone for it. Very #retro. ❤️ lols.

Old school perhaps, but we’ve still got a landline that sits in the background and never gets used. Tried to get it cut off, but became too difficult and there’s no extra cost. In the last two years the only calls we’ve ever received are telemarketing and scam calls so it never gets answered ☎️

Maybe it's a blue-white #thedress thing, but it seems 100% obvious to me she knows what a #landline is, and she was sharing the thing the kid thought up for irony. But the people who didn't think that dumped on her, and she's doubled down

#Landline girl doubled down and went straight for the trolling jugular and I am loving it #tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@weirdochicken/video/7205638214399577390

Weird Marketplace Find of the Day. It's time again for weird and wonderful phones. #weirdmarketplace #phones #unique #LandLine #retro

My broadband contract is due for renewal soon.
No option for full fibre here. The *affordable* options seem to be lacking a traditional phone line.

It's seemingly impossible to port our phone number to a voip provider while having a seamless transfer to a new broadband contract.

So, its a case of losing our 30 year old landline number, and giving a new number to innumerable elderly relatives, and learning the new number.

It's a bit of a mess.

It struck me that the only time that I use my landline is to phone my mobile when it's lost somewhere in the house #mobilephone #landline #mobile

@Bandicoot I love the bit where the fucking #fharmers on #landline say how much they love their animals.

Cvnts.

One of very few places you can still find a working #Payphone - it's at #SaywardValleyResort on North #VancouverIsland 📞

There's very limited cellphone coverage up here. When there's power outages, the #landline is #useful for #emergencies

As the cost of maintaining copper wire infrastructure increases, telecom companies have lobbied the FCC to eliminate regulations that require them to provide landline service across the country.

Beginning 1 August 2022, according to FCC Order 19-72 those regulations will end.

At that time, major providers will no longer be required to provide landline service and as they focus on their bottom line, it’s only a matter of time before they end the service completely.

A lawyer for former President Donald Trump shared a surprising explanation for why he was in possession of a classified briefing folder years after his presidency:

To block a light on his nightstand that had been keeping him awake late at night
