I have only had a cell phone for years. I was helping raise grandkids so I had cell ph calls from grown kids, young kids, and we all use speed dial.

So, we are totally mobile.

I am 72, and have a couple older neighbors that are so startled when my phone goes off in my pocket. 

I would never want to go back to home phone. I can handle calls so easily in the garden, in the pkg lot, or chatting with startled older neighbors.

We use to have a land line phone at home, but we never used it. It was nice to have it just in case our mobile phones had issues, but we eventually got rid of the phone for now.
no land line...don't need any other expenses

Landlines are a thing of the past for personal use.
I still have a landline at my business.

Well right now, I'm living with my parents since my divorce, and yes, they do still have a landline phone. When I lived on my own, I had a landline but cut the service shortly before I moved out. I don't know, sometimes I get worried that if something happens to my cell, I'd like to be able to have the landline to fall back on.

We still do,  we don't use it.  But just a little leery totally trusting the cell service, especially since our carrier got bought out and we had to switch types of phones.  We haven't really had it long enough that I would trust it to cut the landline.

I didn't have a landline when I lived nearer to the city. But where I am now cell coverage is spotty. So I have a home phone service that came with my internet and t.v. package.

Yes we do. If we get rid of it my cable and internet goes up. We get a cheaper deal when we get the bundle all three home line, cable and internet.

We have both landline and cell phones.  Most of our incoming calls still come through the landline and I think for safety and emergency purposes, it is a good idea to have BOTH available.  I rarely ever dial out with the land line or make long distance calls with it, but still do on rare occasion.

We have a landline, because it came bundled with our Internet and tv. We never use it.

I do
But the phone line is through the cable company, I have the triple package: phone, internet, cable
When my deal is over, I think I am going to switch out the phone to a voip.    I pay almost as much for the landline as for a cell phone.   No one barely even uses the land line.   Waste of money, really.
