Agreed. Even in an age where more and more people are ditching landline phones for using their cell exclusively, there are still a lot of people who have a landline at home. For some, it's for emergency reasons: If cell service suddenly goes down in your area and you need to reach emergency services or friends/family, there's a good chance your landline is still functioning, making it a good backup. For others, they might actually (and I know this might be shocking for some) don't keep their phones by their side all the time when they're at home. They might leave them hooked up to a charger up in the bedroom or turn them off when they get in the house. My mother frequently leaves her phone upstairs in her purse when she's home and has a bad habit of letting the battery (and sometimes her service time) run out. In instances like that, our landline at home is a vital communication resource that allows me to get through to my family even when they leave their cell at the other end of the house or (in my mother's case) just let the darn battery run dry. Landlines still have a place in our lives, and it's still kind of a pain that they aren't in this game.
