How old are you, and do you use a landline, cell phone, or both? (at home, not work)

I only talk on my cell but I have a VOIP landline that I forward to my cell. Only reason I have that is to have a local number for certain things.

Because I get shitty reception in my living room, I sometimes have to use the land line. And, I also don't have unlimited minutes, but I do have millions of rollover, so that's really not the issue. It's more the reception and dropping calls sitting on the couch that pisses me off.

I've got both but I forward the cell to my VOIP cuz cell service here sucks so people only have to know one number.

I still have a landline for two reasons:

1. Sometimes when my kids are at home, they don't hear their cell phones when I call because they've wandered off from where they left it but they can hear the house phone.

2. When 3 hurricanes went over my house a few years ago, the landline was the only way to communicate with people because the cell towers were damaged each time and stayed down for days.

As long as I live where hurricanes hit, I'm gonna keep the landline. That said, I usually only give out my cell phone number to people, not the house number.

I only give out my home number...and the ringer is turned off.

How do you factor having a landline because it's the cheapest way to get DSL? I don't have a phone plugged into that line.

When I lived in an apartment, I had the landline for the same reason... DSL... The cable company wanted quite a bit more per month than what my total phone/DSL bill was. I had a phone plugged in to it, but when it rang, I knew it was a wrong number.

Landline. What's that? Cell phone, wireless laptop and Sat TV. And I'm 50

Land line + Cell.

Live in BFE . . . lousy cell reception - the driveway is the end of the "line" . . . no DSL or cable and I ain't paying for a bunch of crap I don't want anyway.

I work from home and am on a LOT of conference calls so I have both. But work pays for them.

Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.

35, cell only. When the young'un gets old enough, maybe I'll get the newest version of landline. If it becomes a need. Any body else remember the day when you bought that super-extended phone cord so you can walk away from the wall?

Oh yeah, I'd go two rooms away and stretch the cord until it was no longer coiled.

I pay for a bunch of crap I don't want in order to get a bunch of crap I do want. Cell phone + 5Mb cable internet + pretty much all the TV channels including the Hi Def and premium channels and DVR...all adds up to around $300/month.

I only have a cell and a landline because we don't get cell reception in my house.

Telephone trivia

Anyone remember when you HAD to rent the telephone from the phone company.

Anyone remember having a party line (Telephone speak)

Anyone remember the last time you used a rotary dial phone and the color.

Anyone remember making their own phone.

Anyone remember not having a telephone.

[livendive 8]

I never made my own phone, and don't remember the exact details of my last rotary call, but yeah, I remember most of that stuff.
