I'm not sure I agree with that. A mobile phone is a personal phone, a
fixed-line phone belongs to a premises; though I grant that this
distinction
is more relevant to businesses. Also of course a fixed-line phone is much
cheaper to use, and isn't going to fail because the batteries have gone
flat
or there isn't a signal.

You obviously haven't looked at BTs prices recently. £13.29 P.M.
standing charge, 10.9p connection charge and 6.4p per minute daytime
calls. Most mobile contracts are much cheaper than that.

Oh no they aren't!

For some the overall package may well be cheaper .. can you explain why
my 28 YO daughter and all her mates despite being in permanent
residences don't have landline phones anymore?..

An extra 13 or 14 odd quid a month can bring you a lot of extra calling
time..

After you have the mobile which for most all young people these days is
a must have..
