Man there's something about talking on a cell phone that makes me feel like I have to yell, and thus, hate talking on them.
As I remember land lines, they never felt that way.
Might last a day or few if it's even true. Just like how they were all ditching smartphones for Nokias recently.
The optimal phone is both corded and wireless: it has a receiver corded to a base piece with a traditional dial, but the base piece is wireless.
My landline have been turned off completely.
I live in an apartment building that was constructed in '22 and a landline wasn't even an option anymore, it's all just gigabit ethernet.
I can kinda understand the feeling. My personal land line phone as a teen (cuz my bedroom had a phone line) was like the old 1800's style rotary phone where the mic was stationary and the hand unit was just a cup for your ear. It felt fancier.
