Landlines still work, and it's not too expensive to keep it as a redundancy.

how does a landline become relevant when one is not at home? right up to the start of work from home, I was spending very little time at home. a landline made no sense at that point.

Last time I had a real landline, it was flakier than cell service. The companies don't really maintain them
