    That used to be the case. I use a landline and rarely use my cellphone,
so I don't give out that number. But cellphone addicts assume all phones
are cellphones. Until maybe 2 years ago, they would get a message that
they were trying to text a landline. Then they'd call me. Now they get no
message. They just tell me later that they've been texting me and I
have to rail at them for being an idiot.

In countries like mine, you can know by looking at the first digit if a phone number is landline or mobile. But not in the north american continent.
