Yeah, we only use the cell. We're upgrading in December to a new plan, but never use the landline. The only problems it's created for me is not being able to order from Domino's cause of the local issues, but that's not a big deal. We order pizza from the Indian place down the street.
Haven't used a land line in years
no land line for me, just the celley!
no land line for me either, just a cell phone dont need a landline when your cell gets unlimited texts, and free long distance
No standard answer applies here. Depends on your situation. If you're never home....you don't need a landline. If you spend a good deal of time at home......no need for a cel phone. Digital phone?.....ever consider what would happen if the power went off? Thats right....no phone service. I spend a good deal of time at home so I have a landline. Keep a cel phone for times when I am not home.
You see... the baby bells would NEVER... ever spend a single penny to upgrade those WWII era unshielded / untwisted copper wire technology they use.
The more people that refuse that old copper crap the faster we will all get fiber backbones.
The baby bells even try to take over cable fiber backbones hahaha! without paying!!!
That's how dirty and tightwad they are.
(2) cell #s in the household for under $85/mo & that includes some stuff we don't need. Free minutes after 7p & unlimited on weekends. Free/unlimited long distance & if anyone I call has Sprint the minutes don't count.
Can't get good service @ a big sporting event like a football game, NIOSA or Oyster Bake. Works @ 95% of Spurs games.
I had only a cell phone but disconnected that too because only my mom called me.
$50 per month is outrageously high.
I just use my cell phone now since I disconnected my home phone but did have both but realized I hardly used it either. It is starting to get expensive with just the cell phone now though. I try to only use it during the weekend when its free lol And when I do talk during the week I try to cut it short. I also have Verizon and am trying to talk others to switch over so its free to talk.
the only downside is all the microwaves that will eventually cause you cancer
I've been thinking about that lately. It does kinda worry me. I remember reading somewhere a while back about how Verizon's batteries get really hot and sometimes blow up. I know I have to get off of mine after a while because it feels like its burning up. I get a lot of headaches lately and a strange burning sensation on the side of my head that just comes unexpectedly, should I be worried?
I haven't had a house phone in 2 or 3 years. there's really no need.
we've got 3 landlines, 1 for the net, 1 for the homephone, and one for me and my sis, we also each have a cell phone, i used to have two each on different networks a to take advantage of free texting on weekends and the other to use for cheaper calling, there both on pre paid accounts
Been Sprint PCS only for about 4 years now... and still using a StarTac too. The phone's getting old, but never having to pay long distance or put up with telemarketers never will.
...Just make sure your cell phone gets good reception at home. There are still occasional holes/weak spots in coverage - my folks live in one out in Stone Oak - which will drive you crazy if you call from home a lot.
just get skype if you have to call long distance.
