>>Currently I have two landlines for my business. One line is practically never used. The other line (main line) used 90% of the time by telemarketing people. Maybe 10% is used by customers.

>For as long as they live, I'll keep the landline, also as a reserve for the days when my Pine64 acts up and doesn't receive calls (something in the schema - works on quiet, doesn't on full or silent). My piece of wisdom that I delivered to some clinic's telemarketer today: „What, that I should allow you to put your instruments on me? You aren't able to remember that you shouldn't ever call this number again, in six tries you still didn't get me off your list, I wouldn't charge you to keep two drawn geese!“.

I agree with you on keeping one line for friends and family. I have the same thing; for our personal use.

My question was more about business use of the line. I still have 2 weeks to decide. I already cancelled one business line, the one I don't use at all. Which leaves me to decide on keeping one VOIP line for business or cancel it and give customers my cell phone number.

As far as telemarketers, I don't even talk to them any more. They don't listen or remember what one says. I simply hang up when I hear a telemarketer.
