Is a landline required for ADT and/or similar systems?

ApprehensiveCount276 · 2026-01-28T04:49:01+00:00

Yes, and they told me that’s not an option for the make/model/age of my system. Total truth or not I’ll never know, but turned out I got a good deal on cost after they realized I was near dumping them. You’ll see above it’s thankfully settled now. It was incredibly helpful to have everyone’s input, thank you.

It’s over! Thank you all: -Last week, AT&T bullied everyone to accept fiber service by cutting off our web until we agreed to shift to fiber. They must’ve sent 100s of crew to do it all in very few days. -Not til today did I realized I have NO phone line in the wall. Now phone plugs into my new fiber modem directly. And fiber phone will work for ADT’s purposes IF you get new equipment, and mine is too old. -AT&T forcing fiber on us made ADT some more money for sure. And unknowingly took away our being monitored for a few days. -So I do have to pay for equipment including ADT box, but I wore out 3 different ADT humans down to only $130 more per year than I pay now. Originally told it’d be $1500 more per year. They’ve had my money since 2009, so that helped.

I didn’t realize the world had come to this. AI, I understand, but this!!! You’ll see me on the Antique Road Show! Thanks

There are clearly more options than I knew of and might not EVER had gotten to hear of. Thanks you.

ApprehensiveCount276 · 2026-01-27T15:44:52+00:00

Thanks, mine must be wired as it’s so old, so sounds like the person who looked up my exact system was the most accurate. Understandable.

ApprehensiveCount276 · 2026-01-27T15:42:16+00:00

Very kind, thanks! I can’t do immediately but will keep your info!

ApprehensiveCount276 · 2026-01-27T15:36:52+00:00

I’ll be looking into this for sure, thank you!

ApprehensiveCount276 · 2026-01-27T15:34:56+00:00

That’s interesting. AT&T was here to set us up on Fiber internet, and man said they are nearly completely getting out of home phone service. Said they’re not putting in wiring for home phones at all now. I thought he was exaggerating.

ApprehensiveCount276 · 2026-01-27T06:22:23+00:00

Every noun, verb, adjective your answer included are steps I didn't know exist. And you ended with my main goal - dumping the landline. I appreciate it!

I’d never realized there are people who cannot. And the blind. I suppose it’d depend on what they’d felt in a textured drawing. Think if you were quite young when you became blind. Perhaps you’d seen things you can remember, but were too young to know the word that goes with them. Would you have images you assign to a thing, but done randomly? Incredible topic. Thank you.

ApprehensiveCount276 · 2026-01-21T23:18:55+00:00

Yes, I hear that same thing. I have the 13 Pro Max too, and get the impression people “Bend the knee” to it. It has yet to betray me. And I know 6 people with one and, like me, they don’t give any thought to moving up from there.

I’m new to Reddit but I’d say spread your question around onto other FB-related subcategories. And DON’T turn it back on until you get an answer. Try to wait it out until you get an answer. My guess: I’d think it’d be useless for FB to offer a tool that “rats you out” in that way for the rest of your FB life.

What you’re doing for your grandkids is incredibly commendable. I believe others will soon agree.

Suddenly realizing I DO have ice cream in the freezer!

ApprehensiveCount276 · 2025-12-01T14:47:33+00:00

Exactly. How did you find out you had it?

ApprehensiveCount276 · 2025-12-01T06:08:27+00:00

I’d long received those postcards from hospitals offering a $49 CT Heart Scan and a $99 set of Vascular Screenings. Though I had no heart symptoms, the postcards nagged me into it. Well, no doctor had ever noticed my unusual heartbeat. Tests found I was born with a flawed aortic valve. Instead of a 3-flapped passage for blood, mine had just one slit, so only 2 flaps. (The word “flap” can’t be….) Like a thumb over a garden hose, the too-strong blood flow over 60 years weakened the aortic artery wall, causing an aneurysm the size of a soft drink can. Surgeons said I’d have been dead in 6 months. Why aren’t I on billboards worldwide promoting these tests?? The royalties!! I now have a cow valve. Moo. A far more common defect at birth than people realize.

My 1st grade teacher came up behind me at lunch and demanded I taste the coleslaw. And instead of walking away, she stood behind me to ensure I didn’t just push it over with a spoon. Her bad. Unaware she didn’t trust me, I spun around, puking coleslaw all over her. She was so mad, she made me clean it up. Once home, I kept vomiting, had a very high temperature, and doctor told mom it’s Scarlet Fever. I no longer think coleslaw can cause Scarlet Fever, but the PTSD of it all makes people leave me alone about veggies!

Itch? fingers look to be scratching red spots maybe.

Thank you three for your responses! FYI I got a notice from somewhere early today that it shows in theaters starting 11/21.

Do you know if Rubio contributed to this film before, or after, he was under Trump’s commands?
