Interesting thing about canceling the home phone!

[Palooka]

Can someone please answer my stupid question?

I would love to drop my land line. But how do you have net service still with DSL? I thought it had to be "cable". Which is priced higher. I have AT&T if that matters for both the home phone, net, and cell phones. Who do I need to call?

TIA

DSL is a different line. So with ATT, you should be able to cancel home line & keep dsl.

I canceled home phone, kept DSL.

I kept one corded phone in the kitchen to call 911 in an emergency.

i want to drop my home phone so bad but I am scared that I may need it if the cell phone service goes down.

I can honestly say I have never had our Verizon phone go down. However being rural with Centurytel that has gone down a lot!

You can keep DSL while dropping the home phone. While using the same lines, they are essentially separate. Call AT&T customer service. Due to bundling, it may be cheaper to keep the home phone, but that's something only AT&T would know.

I did some digging and this is normal and how it works. That will save on the cell minutes!

What did you dig up that said this is normal? Just curious...apparently you researched it.

I google centurytel pure broadband and hit on a few posts in different internet and broadband forums that said it is normal for centurytel.

I haven't had a house phone for a few years now. I don't miss it. I have Comcast modem only, no tv.
