Just have a Home Landline phone and PC at home. I still use a landline, and have no cellphone. All good here, I don't believe in replacing what isn't broken, and landlines still work fine.

I could dial a number by feel and one didn't have to look at the blasted thing. And I only get my news on a pc. It's shocking how different the news is that one gets on a phone. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76799292 A throwaway phone is the only way. I have a landline phone (in addition to my TracFone, which I don't always carry with me). Just yesterday I got a call from Publisher's Clearing House, telling me I've won a million dollars. All I have to do is send them $4,000 to cover taxes, and give them the routing number of my checking account to facilitate the transfer. |

Just have a Home Landline phone and PC at home. I've been saying it for YEARS!!! Take a hammer to your smartphone!!!!! Dammit!!! These fucking phones are DESTROYING CIVILIZATION. I've never had one. I will never have one. It tracks you. It influences you. It's unhealthy. It interferes with normal human interactions. These smartphones are the most evil thing ever perpetrated on the population. I'm gratified to see more and more people waking up to this fact. Get a landline with an answering machine. Worked just fine for decades before we had these fucking smartphones. Have a PC for internet. You don't need internet when you're out of the house... Learn how to read a map for Christ's sake... It's not that hard. I have a flip phone I carry for road emergencies. It doesn't know who I am. I only carry it for longer trips where I'll be tearing across the desert. THAT is the appropriate use of portable communication technology. Could just as easily be a CB radio, too. KILL your smartphone! Join me in being FREE. Only slaves carry phones!!!! |

"though, I have a phone and computer at home" I have never owned a mobile phone anyway, in all these years, and have no intentions of either, why should I buy something I do not want, then have to pay monthly fees to use it, my house phone is good enough thanks. If I need a phone number for registering on a site etc I will ask a mate to lend me theirs. Try and follow me! |

Never use it for messages etc. However when there is an electrical fault in my house wiring, or my server goes down for some reason the land line phone does not work . Somehow it is connected to my server- then I have to use the cell phone so it is useful in that way. |

Just have a Home Landline phone and PC at home. People you seem to be so slow on this board here. Watch this and you will finally see how they will track and scan and know the whereabouts of everyone of this planet. As soon as there will be 5G network will be up, they will know everything about you. All those databases they took for years with faces, plates and your ID photos from the passports, driving licenses will be compared in real time with the faces and plates coming in feeds from millions of tiny cameras. Cameras, and microphones will be installed literally everywhere, in light pols in shops windows, on street advertisement boards, they will have drones flying around, now Musk's Starlink fleet of 5G satellites will "cover" even for remote and very rural areas.... Do you think you can escape??? |
