Getting rid of landline?

Ditched our landline last year when upgrading to full fibre with plusnet.

Just need to make sure you inform the doctors etc. Even though we changed our landline to the mobile the doctors still phoned on the
landline, had to get the receptionist to put a note on our file to use mobiles only.

Other than that we rarely used it.

The other issue I have found is with the sending of secure codes from the likes of Mastercard Secure. From years ago , the codes are sent to my landline and I haven't found a way (yet!) to remove/replace the number

We don't have phones in the bedroom. So getting rid of the landline would mean no one could contact us in an emergency. Really feel we should retain the ability for elderly parents and our offspring to be able to contact us.

The simple answer would be to take your mobile phone to the bedroom then…

That's one reason I've kept the landline - Mum's not really a mobile user.

I pay about £26 per month with Plusnet for BB, landline and free evening/weekend landline calls.

I've has zero regrets for getting rid of my line, I never had a phone plugged into it beyond the first few days here- when spam calls started.

I do retain my previous mobile handset for use as a spare with Tesco Mobile PAYG sim. 

My main handset is with Lebara. 

I'm not comfortable relying on one line with one network.
