You know, in Frandroid, we dedicate a lot of time and energy to the question of mobile telephony, smartphones and their ecosystem.This is a subject that fascinates us and that will continue to fascinate us for a long time.But that does not prevent us from being great sensitive, and sometimes even deep nostalgic.

This is why at the end of the year, we wondered this: do you still use a landline?According to an INSEE survey in 2020, 82 % of households still had a.But does he really use it?

Behind, at a little less than a third of the votes, 8.5 % of users indicate still having a fixed phone but not using it.This phone can above all be used in the event of a major problem."I have one, I don't use it but I have it in case the portable bug.You never know, a network concerns, an emergency and you are happy to have it.And then, it is included in box offers, ”recalls Yohann Abadia in the comments.
