AT&T To Kill Off Landline Phone Service For Most People By 2029
ZDNet, Thursday, December 5th, 2024
But several states are putting up a fight.
AT&T customers who still use the carrier's landline service should be prepared to say goodbye sometime in the next five years.
At its 2024 Analysts and Investors Day on Wednesday, the company said that it's "actively working to exit its legacy copper network operations across the large majority of its wireline footprint by the end of 2029." Yep, that means its traditional landlines will largely be gone by that point, at least if the roadmap comes true.
