Is there a need for land lines any more?

[kevman]

I seriously thinking of ditching the land line once and for all...

 

[FrustratedUser]

I did.

 

[Phoenix86]

I haven't had one in a while, maybe two years.

Could be a problem if you live in a like like me where I don't get any reception anywhere along my street or in my house. I think its because I'm in sort of a valley and that blocks out signals

Yes, my cell phone doesn't work in my apartment

 

[DnetMHZ]

Haven't had a land line in 3 years.

<---- Land-line free for 10 months now.

I still have one. It's how I connect to the internet since cable and DSL have a setup fee of $300,000 (the cost of buying a house in a place where it's available)

 

[Mr N8]

Once I get around to porting my landline number to my cell number, I will be landline free.

 

[phreakah]

yeah, i need one for DSL through verizon.. but i signed up for that life line plan or whatever it's called for like $3/month hehe

 

[LethalWolfe]

I thought it said land mines. D'oh.

I have a land line for DSL only. I haven't made a land line call since March.

I have a land line and do not have a cell phone. I hate cell phones... though I'm sure I'll get one someday.

I would like to ditch my land line, but I have DSL... no cable modems by me.

 

[Slacker]

I dont have a cell phone, dont need one, dont want one.

We have a business line so our home line isn't necessary but we haven't really justified cutting off the $18/mo. cost since all our utilities are tied to our #.

How does that work ? Or is it mostly just an address they use ?

What # do you give them as contact info then ?

 

[Feldenak]

I still have and use a land line.

 

[So]

Well, I never got a land line once I went to college, my parents ditched long distance at home and just keep local service.

Same, and I hopefully wont ever have to have one.

 

[daveshel]

I still have one and have no intention of going wireless. I have no desire to be reachable at every moment of every day, I don't want to be tempted to talk while driving, and don't want to pay the extra.

 

[waggy]

we cancelled the land line like 3 years ago. having the cell was cheaper then haveing a landline.

I'm with you on that one.

Left hand on the wheel, right hand on the stick, left foot on the clutch and/or brake, right on the gas and/or brake. That just leaves my wang. Unless you want me to whip that out while I'm talking to you, you really don't want my talking on a cell phone while driving.

<-- generally dislikes talking on the phone.

I have a cell and it sits at home. I like landlines. What do you do if there's an emergency and the cell doesn't work or you have *GASP* ZERO BARS?

Ha ha.. that's what i thought it said too.

 

[Kelvrick]

I only use it some times. Mostly only get calls from telemarketers anyway. Other then that, usefull when your cell is low on batteries.

Of course, I keep it because of DSL.
