We have been cut back to cell phones only for quite some time and it has been great.  Only one problem,  we had to call the squad for our daughter a couple of weeks ago and when I called 911 it sent me to a different county.  It picked up where ever my phone was using a tower.  They had to transfer me to the proper station which took time.  Luckily everything was ok but it makes me worry if it would have been a worse situation where seconds counted, would those seconds that it took to transfer me have been what I needed to save her life.  Something to think about for sure!!! :-

I have both, the land line for my family outside of the USA, it is cheaper to pay international calls to landline than to cell phones.  Use cell phone when out of the house.

We have both a landline and cell phones.  We keep the landline as it is the same phone number we have had for many years.  We have changed mobile phone companies several times over the years and have had to change the cell numbers each time.

I only have cellphone now, but I prefer to have both. I turned off landline a couple of years ago to save money when I wasn't working.

I have a smart phone and a landline. I would drop my landline in a hot minute except It is a dedicated home business line. I plan to retire at the end of the year and I will get rid of it then.

:star:The Land line should be kept, if your retiring at the end of the year, then you dont want the smart phone to follow you everywhere. Retiring is FREEDOM a SP is not letting go. The land line stays right where it is and you can answer it or not. I think you should download some interest on the SP and have fun. :peace:

I only have a cell phone and I have a feeling landlines will be heading the way of payphones. The only bad thing is if you run out of battery and you're lost in a new town in the middle of the night it gets pretty damn scary.

How many of you just use a cell phone now.  Do you have a land line phone?  Most people are opting out of a land line and using cell phones only. Which do you do or do you have both?  Answer can be:  Have both, cell phone only, land line only or none.
My answer is I have both
I prefer a cell phone portability to a land line

I rather have a landline instead of a cell phone.  I do not like to talk on the phone, but if i have to talk landline will do.

I have a cell phone only. I gave up my land line.  I was not using it so I did not need it.

We have both. But the landline is never used. People use are cells to get a hold of us!

I only use a cell phone. Landlines are more expensive and not as useful to me, because I'm not home a whole lot, so no one would actually be able to contact me there!
