VoIP. Is Phone by Wire Nearly Dead?

Zoomup
Hard wired phone lines. Just how long will we have them? And just how many metres of cable are there on those big pictured cable drums?

    I said "Where's the house phone".  My eight year old grandson said "What's a house phone?"


    I have just renewed my package with BT, now I pay for every landline call, because I don't use it at all.  The only time it is used now is when an elderly relative calls (who doesn't use a mobile phone) or scam calls.


    My brother lives in Spain and has just stopped his landline rental, now all phone calls are via WhatsAp or Messenger and suddenly the quality is much better and the call more reliable.  He wonders why he didn't do this a long time ago.


    I have just installed a mobile network router and Amazon Echo for a blind friend who did not even have a landline and now he can make phone calls through Alexa by just using his voice.  This is a very cheap way of internet for him.


    Yes, I'm sure the landline phone is quickly on the way out!
