Despite the rise of mobile phones, landlines are experiencing a resurgence in popularity, particularly among younger generations who are seeking a simpler and more authentic communication experience.
Oh, you young whippersnapper! You’re really missing out.On so much! Telling the caller your full telephone number when answering the phone, being trapped in a room where everyone in your family can clearly hear your side of the conversation. It’s the best.You wouldn’t understand. I still get lots of calls on my landline phone , you know.Oh, all my new friends. The guy who has promised to give me millions of pounds to thank me for lending him £10,000.
It could be because people who want to speak to you for a legitimate reason will just ring your mobile. Or it could be because it’s mainly old people who have landlines these days.Because scammers famously like to target elderly people, and 80% of elderly people have landlines, compared to just 50% of 18-29-year-olds.You are more likely to get a friendly senior who may not realise that you’re trying to empty their bank account.
