Advice please: landline necessary now?

[Rebecca E.]

I'm in the middle of an owner occupied flip DIY style as much as possible. It's my 1st so I'm trying to learn.

It's a Post war Cape In a B class Neighborhood.

My question is do I need to have land lines and phone jacks in this day and age? The last post I could find on the subject was from 2014 so I wondered if people's opinions had changed?

If the wires are all there and functioning and you can mark where the jacks would be (photo of the room with an x) saved in a file then you may as well leave the wiring just in case a potential buyer wants them.

Internet wiring if it is there could be beneficial to place boosters and or allow people to wire in smart tv's or whatever fun devices they come out with in the next decade. You also need the one coming into the house for the primary modem/router at least.
