Yes, I do. And one of them is a rotary. People gave me a hard time about it until we had a massive blackout and the cell lines were busy. I was the only one able to make phone calls out so all the neighbors were coming over to use it.

I thought that was a bit funny. My DW has always insisted on keeping her old rotary pgonee even though it is not connected 🤣.
We do not keep a home phone anymore. I thought it was too expense wether it be through Verizon or AT&T.
Now I have to learn how a fax can setup properly without a home land line.
Any advice or pointers would be appreciated!

It was here when we moved in, mounted in the wall. People always get a kick out of it. Every once in a while I'll use it, but I can't dial it as fast as I could as a kid. 😆

Google Efax for your solution 
I've used a few of the services and they all work well.
Yep I have one too!
Just for nostalgia 
I always thought it was neat people would have the same phone number 20, 30, or more years. I still remember my childhood home phone number. I lucked out and got a similar number for my own landline - as in, the same pattern of repeating numbers as what was in my childhood number!
All of this sounds extremely nerdy, yeah.
Anyway I don't currently have a phone hooked up to it as it became the main "call center" for collection attempts back in my less responsible days. I think it still gets calls now and then (when I was paying for cable TV, before I got hulu, it would pop up as caller ID on the TV even without a phone hooked up). So I don't know if I will ever use the line again but its cheap and I've kept it around. I will take it with me when I move (hopefully in the next 6 months) and will probably buy a phone to hook up. I think most collection calls were stemming from a medical debt from 2011.
I've had the number since 2008 so far and I like having it for some reason. (You can't tell can you?)
Yep. Although the only time I pick it up is it to buzz people in our gated community but feel like it's a good backup plan. You never know. I sometimes have to think really hard to remember the # the few times I have to provide it for other things.

My wife had her own line as a kid and she kept it active at her mom's house for about 30 years until she forgot to pay it one day. AT&T disconnected it so quick and refused to give her back the number when she realized and paid
