how many people still have home phones?
Follow CBS-FM. New data shows that the vast majority of Americans still have a landline but they are slowly fading away. The Wall Street Journal reports 71% of households currently have a landline compared to 96% 15 years ago. Obviously most of the households that have landlines also have cell phones too. However with the economic downturn a few years ago, many people have ditched 2 phone services and got rid of their landlines and went wireless. Bundled intenet lines, TV, and phone also make wired landline service obsolete.
