I do have a land line. I'm not sure why. Between my cell, land line and internet service, my phone bill is over $150 (US) per month. I am going to make a change... I'm just not sure what will change.
Yes. I still have a landline. It is part of our cable/internet bundle so I would not save much if I dropped it. Also, it is reliable. The area we live in does not have good cell phone service at times.
I do still have a land line. Why? Because Vonage is far less expensive than any of our local mobile providers. Also, I really don't fancy dragging an electronic ball and chain with me everywhere I go.
I've actually set myself a challenge for this year to keep all of my change gathered over the month in a vase on my dresser and to cash it in at the end of each month. My credit union will run it through the machine and deposit it in my savings account for no fee. I have put a chart on my blog sidebar to keep track of how much I accumulate in change each month and at the end of the year I'll make plans for it, depending on how much I have. I'm kind of enjoying the idea of seeing how much my loose change comes to!
We disconnected our land line a couple of months ago. It does not make sense to keep it when we rarely used it. The only calls I get on the land line are telemarketers. Now I'm saving some $$ and no annoying phone calls.
We gave up our landline to save money...and we do...but I miss the clarity of the old phones. I just don't feel like I hear all of the conversation when I'm on the cell. We may go back to a landline as soon as the kids move out....and get rid of the cell altogether (eek).
I haven't had a land line since 2001. That's when my employer gave me a cell phone that they pay for. Now it's morphed into a Blackberry and I have to pay 20% of the cell plan portion of the bill. So, I have a smartphone with unlimited everything and it costs me $12 per month.
We have a landline. We can only get basic ADSL broadband in our area, which needs a landline. When we had wireless internet we didn't have a landline, but the rates were too expensive, and the download quotas too stingy, so we had to change to basic broadband and get the phone back. Nobody calls us on it except for telemarketers, so we tend not to answer it most of the time!
Yeah. Use the landline for a base contact with answering machine. Had the number for 23 years. Listed in the phone directory. If I don't know you personally that is how you can call me. Only minimal incoming service, low cost.
Why would a diabetic be eating sandwiches and pasta? The very nature of type II diabetes demands that you follow a diet that results in low insulin release. High fat/moderate protein - and carbohydrate intake that reflects activity level. Exercise regularly and get off the grains/legumes/fruits.
We had a landline for years for "just in case". Then one day, our bill was $6 higher than the month before, not because we used it on long distance calls but because the phone company just decided to raise our rates. The day I received the ...bill with $6 more than what it's supposed to be is the day I decided I've had it with the landline and cancelled our service. We use our cell phone to make and receive calls.
I have not had a landline in more than 7 years. My cell phone is always with me and for $20 a month with unlimited text and talk, who needs a landline!
We got rid of the landline just a few months ago after discussing it for a couple of years. The actual telephone broke, and it was either buy a new one or drop the service. It was a good excuse to finally make the break.
Nope - got rid of it last year and haven't missed it.

Yes, we still have a landline. We have DSL and that requires a landline. Also, my husband's employer pays for our landline--so why not have one!

Solid advice to securing a job in this new era of a marketplace that calls for change.

Yes I still have a landline. Two reasons: 1. I'm old.
2. In case of emergency 911 knows where i am.
Do not have a landline, and do NOT miss it!! Cancelled it to save money, works well for me!

We just got rid of our landline a few months ago. So far we haven't missed it.

I had one about 10 years ago so I could have DSL. Once I left that apartment and got cable, I haven't gotten a new one. Don't need it.

No landline here! Just not worth the money when I'm never home. Besides I can do anything I need to from my cell. Much more convenient.

@Polishmom - you can try eFax or similar services. You do not need a landline for fax nowadays.

Nope, we got rid of the landline when everyone in the house got a cell phone
no! would be very redundant. we dabbled with vonage a few years back...nightmare.
cellphones only since 2001.
