Re: Landlines are expensive said by fifty nine: ... About the only reason to have a landline these days is to call 911 reliably. I dropped POTS over two years ago and ported my phone number to an iPhone. Converted my copper line to dry-loop DSL which costs only $19.99/Mo, not looking back!
One life and death 911 call placed on my cell was not an issue. In fact, the 911 operator knew exactly where I was before I told her.
I have VOIP backup via DSL on the phone if I need it, but have never had to use it. Having an internet backup has been useful..... I have access to all my email addresses and a browser via 3g on my phone. I feel more reliably connected today than when I had pots only, and it travels with me. This is a neat technology! It's the future.
