Is There Reason to Hang on to Your Landline?

With jobs are hard to come by and part time minimum wage the only thing out there, I gave up the landline and rely solely on the cell phone. I feel more secure having it with me when travelling in case of emergency.

We have a landline and i dont think i would get rid of it! I never have to worry about my phone "dying" if i need it and since i am home most of the time it is what i use the most!! To keep costs down our cell phone plan has a very low amount of minutes since i dont use it that often!

We got rid of our landline about 7 years ago. There was no need for an extra bill since we all have cell phones. Not to mention, in an emergency, we have better success using our cell phones, not a landline.

I don't have a landline, but my magic jack has worked wonders. That is what I use.

My husband and I just got married and moved into a new place. Right now we don't have a need for a landline, but have talked about reconsidering once kids come along.

I still have my landline as its a number I have had for many years and friends and family call me often on it all the time,and, in case of emergency its good to know that I have it. I actually prefer using it when I am at home. Also, what if something happens to my cell - it breaks, I lose it, etc? I do agree that getting rid of the landline would be a way to save a little money if things get too tight, but I would have to think long and hard about giving it up. Guess I am set in my ways.

No landline here. We have a iPhone so you can have a extra number if needed by downloading a free app. :)

I don't have a "land line," per say, but I do have a MagicJack line that I use a lot. I also have a cell phone that I use when I am out and about. I gave up my real land line a long time ago but it was not cost efficiante for me to keep. Land lines are fast becoming things of the past or just for business.

I keep mine. I think it's a good idea for emergencies and also with the number of random calls I get from numbers I don't know - I'm glad to have a home phone number to list whenever filling out online information so that I don't get those kinds of calls on my cell phone. I use my home phone number when filling out contests and sweepstakes and product samples, etc.

I like having another number where friends and family can find me without the hassle of dealing with cell service. It makes me feel secure!

Yes we have a landline - for the kids to use, no need for them to have a cell yet also I think cells are for emergency's when you are out
