I was reading a report the former day about Australia. Simply putting it the country has said that up to a couple of million people will be leaving behind their house hold phones to use mobiles. In Australia mobile phone subscribers has already over taken fixed home lines.

In this current day and age though, are fixed home phone lines a requisite or are they even required any longer? Let us take a quick look at it all.

Battery

Home phones are very different from mobile phones. On a personal note I actually carry my mobile on my person at all times, so the battery ends up going flat relativley quickly, but its different for a home phone as that always sits on charge.

Signal

Mobile phones on some occasions still are a bit wobbly; voice clarity is nowhere near that of fixed line phones in the household.

Cheaper Calls

I do know that a lot of people are very much on a contract based phone, which has numerous free benefits, but landlines are a lot cheaper, particularly to numbers such as 0800 numbers and 0845s.

The Number

The thing about having a land line is the fact that you have one major global number in hand. A lot of people would much kind of call land lines, because it is a lot less cost effective. As well as this there are so many more benefits such as if you have your mobile phone on silent, people can still get hold of you on land lines.

So personally no, I do not feel that getting rid of land lines is the thing to do at the here and now, I think in the next decade then maybe so. When costs are lower to communicate and technology is more improved.
