I don't even know if my friends have landlines or not. I just use their cellphone numbers. I know a lot of people have been cancelling their landlines in their homes and just use cell phones for communication.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Koleckai]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 11th 2010 3:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Colleges Removing Student Landline Phone Services]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/11/colleges-removing-student-landline-phone-services/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/11/colleges-removing-student-landline-phone-services/</guid><description><![CDATA[my son & roommate got rid of their landline dorm-room phone because the only calls that came through for them were from telemarketers!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cathy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2010 12:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Colleges Removing Student Landline Phone Services]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/11/colleges-removing-student-landline-phone-services/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/11/colleges-removing-student-landline-phone-services/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've owned cell-phones since the early '80's' but always kept a wired 'land line' in my home.  The main reason is that every 'now and then' when I went to make a call on my 'cell-phone' the system would be 'busy' (maybe a radio station running a contest) and I would not be able to make a call regardless of the reason.  Thus I kept the land line for emergencies and also I used a dial up ISP (Internet Service Provider) since I didn't need the speed of DSL.  Atleast with a land line home phone, I could dial 911 (and have the call go through, and they would know my exact location-street address without me even telling them) say if a pan caught on fire in the kitchen and my efforts to put it out failed.  Thus saving my home.  The cost of a wired 'land line' is worth the cost to me for the security of being sure of contacting emerency services.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pks29733]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 22nd 2010 10:04AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
