It seems New York State leads the charge in keeping their landline phones. A new survey by the Chamber of Commerce shows New York State leads the country in the percentage of landline phones with The National Center of Health Statistics reporting that over 52 percent of New Yorkers say they still own a fixed-line phone. New Jersey is a close second because, as the study concluded, the population in these states is a bit older than in the rest of the country, and seniors are the most likely to still keep a landline phone in their homes.
