[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] FW: Realtor Makes Horror Realization While Selling House to Gen Z Buyer

[Drew King (dking65@kingconsulting.us)]

Around here in Florida no new construction has a landline or the infrastructure to support it.

My only option is internet based phone service. I use magicJack as my home phone service. Clearly displayed on the lock screen of my cell phone is my home phone number in case I get separated from the phone. The person that finds it can call that number and reach me at home.

When my niece got married 4 years ago I bought her and her husband a Panasonic Bluetooth phone system for their home. The unit doesn't require home phone lines it pairs with two cell phones and even uploads the contacts. It came with four handsets that you could distribute around the house so you didn't have to drag your cell phone everywhere. 

They stuck it in the attic and never opened the box. They've since moved from that house and perhaps it's still there.

It even supported Siri for voice dialing but they didn't care about it they were not going to have phones in their home. I found out later on that it was pretty much her husband's decision not hers.

My POTS line broke a couple months ago and they told me they weren’t supporting or fixing them anymore because they want everyone who has one to move to Internet/IP service. So, is an Internet/IP phone still a “landline” or a “home line”?
