It used to be that you needed a landline to connect to the Internet by using a dial-up modem. Since then, the situation has done a complete 180, and now you can connect to the Internet without a landline at all. In addition, you can simulate having a landline by using the Internet. You’ll need to contract the services of an online phone company, but doing so will give you a steady phone number as well as the ability to make outgoing calls from your computer.
