But suddenly the mobile phones were released and they caused a huge amount of industry buzz. Technology is just progressing at high speeds in these handsets, and mobile phones now let us connect to the internet, take image shots and shoot videos. The calls are also getting a lot cheaper and you can get signal almost any where in the world.

Do we actually really need landlines anymore? I think both yes and no is the answer for this question for quite a few reasons which we will now look at:

1) Businesses need to strictly have access to land lines, because they need to transfer, track and record calls all the time. Although mobile phones are good I do not think they can be used for business reasons.

2) From another point of view, do we really need landline access at home anymore? I mean mobile phone calls are getting a huge amount cheaper so why get a landline? The thing about landlines is that they only work in specific locations you cant be too far away from the hand unit otherwise the signal will drop, besides that they constantly need charging otherwise their batteries will cut out.

In the end only time will tell what is going to happen. Lets wait and see what occurs in the next few years.

In this new day and age though are set home line really necessary and are they even needed anymore? Let us take a quick look at it all.

Battery

Land lines are a lot different than cell phones. Personally I carry my mobile telephone in my pocket throughout the day, so the battery is not really as reliable as a house cordless phone which constantly 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 know that a lot of people are now on a contract based phone which allows a certain amount of free benefits, but land line calls are still a lot cheaper, especially 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 rather 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 mute, 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.
