Yes, I still have a landline

Fewer than a quarter of Americans still have a landline phone, but they are still used in some parts of the world:

Demographics
Landlines are more common among homeowners (34%) than renters (15%). They are also more common among people 65 and older, who are the only demographic where households with landlines outnumber wireless-only households.

Usage
Only 2% of U.S. adults use only landlines, while another 3% mostly rely on them.

International
A YouGov survey found that 22% of consumers in 17 international markets have and use a landline phone.
Landlines can still be essential for several reasons, including:

Secure connection: Landlines can provide a secure connection where cellular coverage is lacking.
Convenience: Landlines can be convenient.
Compatibility: Landlines are compatible with older home security systems.

However, phone service providers are phasing out landlines, which may impact: People over age 65, Small business owners, Anyone with an analog fax machine, and Analog alarms and emergency call boxes inside elevators.

Here's my landline but not full flesh since it's VoIP and may not be considered vs. traditional landline:
