| No landline for me I have no landline and haven't had one for over five years. Yes, cell phones can go out, but the longest outage I ever had was with my SBC landline, and that was for several days, and it wasn't even weather-related but some sort of technical problem.
The way I see it, I have two cell phones with two different carriers (personal and work phones), my wife has a cell, I have a landline at work, and I have 911 calling on my copper circuit that is used for DSL service. That's about all I need.
And basic landlines here cost around $26 with tax, so they're by no means cheap.
Now, none of this means I'd never get a landline again, but I want to see some real value in it first. When a basic landline comes with call waiting, Caller ID, voicemail, and included long distance, all for a price comparable to a low-priced cell plan, I might consider it. Give me value for my money, and I might come back. |
