We still have a landline.  My husband's health is not the best and I don't want to take any chance of not being able to call 911 if I need to.  I've had my cable out for up to a week so I would never consider letting the cable company take over my phone service in any kind of bundle deal.    I keep my phone bill as cheap as possible but that's not easy with AT&T.  I use Google voice for long distance calls

No landlines here.  We are completely digital and wi fi capable so we cut our land line 3 years ago and have not missed it one bit.

We just got rid of our landline about six months ago.  We are seniors in our sixties and I don't think we talk on the phone enough to worry about radiation.  Some days I do not talk on the phone at all.  I don't really like to.  I was in customer service-type jobs for so many years when I was working, I got sick of talking to people.  Now I mostly talk to my daughter, and soon they will be moving close by, so I can talk to them in person.  Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no I don't have  a home phone any more but I have to say, I wish I did.  I miss sitting at the desk doodling on paper while I hold the bulky receiver to my ear.  Or sitting on the couch twisting the cord up and dialing the numbers.  Most of all I miss hanging up on someone!  With a cell phone u just simply press a button, I want to slam down the receiver!  Aw the good ol days!

No landline anymore.  I haven't had one in about 6-7 years.  It became redundant and I mostly received telephone solicitations.  I would consider having one for wired security systems and to receive calls at the house but the phone company charges much more than I think that it's worth.  I would only pay less than $10 with taxes and fees.

yes, i have a landline. it just seems more dependable than a cell. I have a free cell phone thanks to the goverment But, i cannot usually hear it ring. On the landline I do not have to worry about minutes all the time. So, that is why I like the landline.

I do still have a land line.  I have it bundled with my internet.  It is also a security thing with me.  I try to explain that to others and they don't always understand.  I like having a phone that I know will still be connected to the outside if the power goes out and I have no clue when it will be back on.  Yeah, it would probably save me some money to get rid of my land line altogether, but I can't quite get myself to do it.

I do have a land line phone. I will never use a cell phone.....two very good reasons: radiation danger and the numbers are too small to press with your finger.

Gerianne, I hear ya with the radiation bit.  I still wonder and worry about it.  People say all the time that it is just a little bit so don't worry about it.  I still think about it.  We finally broke down and got cell phones to keep in better contact with our children.  There is one cell phone that I can think of that has larger numbers and it is just a basic phone without all the other bells and whistles that other cell phones have.  I believe it is called a Jitterbug.  The only reason I mention this is because I do believe that cell phones are a nice safety feature to have when you are away from your house.  What plan you decide to pay for and how much you use it, is up to you.  :)  Take care. :)

I still have one and use it quite a bit.  I also bundled mine with my internet and t.v.  I probably use it just as often as I use my cell phone.
