Post by: workin4alivin on May 19, 2014, 03:44:07 pm: I'm a cell person. No need for land line any longer. Altho, without a land line we don't get movies on our satellite tv provider. Stupid huh? I guess it's the only way they can send it or something. We don't have a "smart" tv ...

Post by: stbernard1973 on May 19, 2014, 03:55:56 pm: There is absolutely no way I would ever give up my landline phone no matter how good and reliable the cell service was in my area (which it isn't). I have two relatives that work for a major phone company and both have stressed to me time and time again to never give up my landline. Even before they started working for that company removing my landline in favor of a cell phone was something I wouldn't have done.

I get my phone, internet and television all from my local phone company and get a pretty great deal on it and am pleased with the service. :)

We still have our landline, but we are seriously thinking of dumping it. Nobody calls except telemarketers. That's it. I have family out of state and I use my cell to call them. My husband uses his cell for work and personal calls.

Title: Re: DO you still have a landline telephone or do you use cell phones in your househo
Post by: jford87 on May 20, 2014, 07:05:24 am: We no longer have a landline. I liked having it because I preferred making calls from that whenever I was at home, but it didn't make sense to continue to pay for that when we already had to pay for our cell phones.

Post by: demaina on May 20, 2014, 12:27:32 pm: Currently we have both, but when I'm on my own, I will probably just have a cellphone. Haven't really thought that much about it though so who knows.

Title: Re: DO you still have a landline telephone or do you use cell phones in your househo
Post by: myfreebees316 on May 30, 2014, 01:10:43 am: I use both because some people you just dont want having a direct to you so they get the cell number instead of the actual house number. To me it's a like a safety feature
Title: Re: DO you still have a landline telephone or do you use cell phones in your househo
Post by: ejholt on May 30, 2014, 04:23:19 am: I have a land line and a cell phone too. But I don't need a house phone but it don't cost much so I keep it. Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe. :)

Post by: campbell829 on May 30, 2014, 04:30:18 am: We still have both, we have thought about getting rid of the landline but we havnen't so far. When we have a hurricane the landline will work but not the cell phones so we may just keep it.

Title: Re: DO you still have a landline telephone or do you use cell phones in your househo
Post by: msmoneybags48 on May 30, 2014, 08:04:53 am: I had a landline phone for at least 4 years. The weird thing is that AT&T installed it and I experienced problems as it operated (it would go silent to the point where I could get no dial tone, especially when it rained). I also experienced bouts where people would call and not say anything. I then had it discontinued and all of us (my brother in-law, hubby and me) have cellphones now. My hubby and I have cellphones by StraightTalk, while my brother in-law's cellphone is serviced by Verizon. ??? ??? ??? :thumbsup: :rainbow: :rose:

Post by: blondie71 on May 30, 2014, 11:20:57 am: I use landline and cell phone because I live in the middle of no where and most the time we can't get a signal and I have to have a way to call out in case of am emergency.

Post by: Penwoir on May 30, 2014, 11:56:15 am: I have a landline and a cell phone. I have caller ID on my landline so I find that useful for when sales people keep bothering me. I have my cell phone for all my important calls (childrens schools, husband's work etc). My landline is also useful for cheap international calls to the united kingdom where my family lives.

Post by: carmexqueen on May 30, 2014, 04:36:00 pm: we have both. the phone and internet service is one in the same so we use our cellphones as computers basically. use the wifi in the home and turn the data off.

Post by: lywb2168 on June 06, 2014, 04:55:37 pm: I have both, use the cell phone more, but I still have the landline because my husband's and my family lives overseas and it is easier for them to call the landlne than the cell phones, plus I have teenagers and the landline comes very handy for messages left by the school, so I can let them hear them since they do not have the code to retrieve them
