Today is National Landline Telephone Day. I guess you can celebrate even if you haven’t had a landline phone in your house since 2006. In honor of the day, a new survey asked people to name the last time they spoke to someone using a landline phone.
And 2% of people said NEVER. Another 25% of people said it’s been more than six months. On the flip side, 25% said they spoke to someone using a landline that day, and 15% say they did the day before.
Not surprisingly, the older you are, the more likely you are to have used a landline in the past few days. 49% of people over 55 have, versus just 15% of people under 24. And people under 24 are three times more likely to have never used a landline.
