Certainly businesses will want to keep, if not landlines,
then "household" phone numbers.
They're useful at home too, for when you want
to talk to anybody who answers and don't want
to be bothered calling each family member in
turn, only to talk to their voicemail, or to
find out that they're answering from the mall
or the office and can't check if you turned off the stove...
I think that there are lots of occasions when you
want to call a location and not a specific person,
or at least are willing to talk to a stand-in if
the primary bod is not on premises (or refuses
to answer their cell while in the toilet stall...
thank you...).
