I still use my landline. I also use a cellphone.
When we had a lengthy power outage a few years ago, my wifes cell battery died before the outage was over. 3 days or so. I still had phones... I have a hardwired landline phone I can plug in when it's needed. I grew up in a town that had an independent phone company and that had the old crank phones within my lifetime. (Despite wikipedia saying differenty) I'm sort of angling to be one of the last ones with a landline.

I keep it for decoration and as a collectible.
I figure since it is vintage it has values. I am just waiting for a grading company to starting grading and encapsulating them

As a collectible look for phones manufactured by Western Electric , AT&T's manufacturing arm back in it's monopoly days. The phones in that era were designed to be indestructible and need as little maintenance or premises attention as possible. When phones could later be purchased from anyone quality went down hill for the landline phones. But they were nicer looking
