My parents.

It even has a cord.

And my Mom buys a longer cord to she can walk around more while on the phone.

She doesn't know they've come up with a cordless phone? Just pull out the antenna and you can walk around most of the house.

This was my parents until 3 months ago when they finally gave it up. They're in their 70s though so it was more the inertia of not making a change than anything.

My parents do. They don’t like the snowey reception on a cell phone.

We do. My wife lived through Katrina when all the cells went down. We never use it though.

I have one. For some reason, my house sits in some kind of Bermuda Triangle because neither me or my wife get consistent cell service inside the house. Step outside and it's fine.

Yep. Exactly why I keep mine. Mine stayed busy. Was not a bad experience with friends and neighbors coming by.

Same here except Rita. It’s absurd. Both of our parents have disconnected theirs, heck even her 90yr old grandmother disconnected hers.

Me. Actually needed it in an emergency situation earlier today.
Crazy you asked because I never use it and have hated having one for years.
This phone call was worth all the time paying to not have it.
This was today!!
