Do you have a home phone or cell phone only?

Recommended Posts

I have both. I like to have one to get ahold of my kids if they are at home and I'm out running around. They both have cell phones, but they don't carry them from room to room all the time.

In addition, when the 3 hurricanes came over my house 2 summers ago, the cell towers went down and the electricity went off. If I had not had my landline and $10 phone, I would have had no way of communicating to my family in town. I'm going to keep the landline.

I have both. I was going to the cell phone only thing, but I just can't seem to bring myself to talk on my cell phone, drain my battery, get crappy reception, drop calls, etc. when I am at home. The calls I make at home are on my home phone unless they're long distance. :S

Cell only. I've been living with friends for the last few years and after my first house had a land line over which there'd ALWAYS be fights over the bill, i've never done it since.

but then I imagine kids friends calling our cell phones all the time & I think... no way.. totally worth it.



Require all the friends to have the sam service....

I actually hadn't thought about that..... do boys talk a lot on the phone too??

Sprint forces the landline on me to have DSL. I went without a land line for awhile and was using Navini wireless internet - off a cell tower but it started getting popular and they wouldn't upgrade the infrastructure and got slow as dial-up during peak hours. I had to switch to something and cable is not available in my area. Sprint DSL was the only real option. I'm happy with the internet service but that $35/month extra for the landline is hard to swallow especially since the first week I had it I was travelling for business, didn't give the number to anyone and had 27 messages from telemarketers when I got home. The ringer is not even turned on now.

Land lines suck, paying for one just for internet sucks worse.
