Everyone I know still has one. The lines are still run anyway. I won't give mine up because they don't go out in hurricanes like the cell phones do. The phone offices have backup batteries, and the lines have carbon fibers in them so they don't break as easily as electric lines.

Most people have old crdless landlines around here and they are useless when there is a power outage. Without service I dont know how a party line would worl without operators

If the phones are all connected together, you just pick up the phone and talk to whoever else is on there. Of course you wouldn't be able to call an individual, but you could still spread information and find out things.
