The death of the Landline

telephone
A phone with a fixed line, called a landline, might seem like a thing of the past.
The popularity of mobile phones these days appears to be killing off the home phone, with four in five phone numbers being mobile phone numbers. But how has this changed the way we live and the atmosphere in our offices? 

Rob and Feifei discuss if this really is the death of the landline, and we learn some language related to telephone calls.

This week's question:
How many landlines do you think there are, for every thousand people?

a) 2.9
b) 29
c) 290


Listen to this six-minute English programme to find out the answer.
