Mobile or Landline?

[Glory1]

I recently read on the BBC Technology page that in the USA more people use their mobiles than landlines. Apparently many households don't even have a landline and rely solely on their mobiles.

This particularly interested me as I don't have a landline and exclusively use my mobile . My reason is that I make so few phone calls that I cannot justify paying additiinal line rental for a service I rarely use. I can browse the net, do on-line shopping, send emails and messages (the latter through Whatsapp not SMS),play games and do a search on any subject even how to spell a word on my mobile. And, of course, make the odd phone call.

So all if this made me wonder what's the situation here in the UK? I assume all of you have a landline as well as your mobile. So my question is which do you use most: your landline or your mobile? And what do you use your mobile for?

I've only got a mobile these days, but the reception in my apartment is patchy to say the least (using BT Mobile), so I should probably invest in a new telephone. I know there are Apps that address that problem, by using a WiFi connection, but it is frustrating that mobile still lags behind in many areas of the country (i.e. in terms of call quality).

I sympathise. Many of my friends, a number of whom live outside the London area, complain about call quality. This really shouldn't be the case. But then the same applies to broadband where many areas of the UK suffer appalling problems with speed. It's 2017 FGS these kinds of problems shouldn't exist as most of us have mobiles and use broadband. The telecommunications companies need to get their acts together sharpish.

I'm the same, have a landline connected, but no phone plugged in for 3 plus years. Only have the connection for my fibre broadband.
