Title: Do you have landline, cell, or both?
Post by: Nancy5 on September 16, 2014, 12:53:32 pm
We have both.  We probably use the landline more (we have 7 landline phones), so it just seems easier to grab one rather than the cell.  What do you have/use?

We don't have a landline only cell phones because we never used it and were just paying for it.

I keep a landline and one of my phones is corded, in case of a power outage.  I also carry a prepaid cell in case of emergencies.

I did away with my landline some years back. I was being charged double the amount for a basic phone service from Verizon. I have been with AT&T ever since. And I love their service No more land lines for me.

We have cell phones.  Got rid of the landlines a few years ago.

Seemed like the only calls the landline got was telemarketers so we got rid of it.
Title: Re: Do you have landline, cell, or both?
Post by: lywb2168 on September 17, 2014, 06:21:47 am
We have both, the landline is basically for my family overseas, it is cheaper for them to call a landline than a cell, and all the telemarketing and idiots that like to call for nothing will call the landline and get voicemail, no time to fight with them and get to stop, so they call landline and do not get my cell phone to bother us.  Anyone  that needs to speak to us knows to reach us at cell intead of landline.specially if it is something important or an emergency

I don't have a landline now. I do miss not having to count my minutes. I don't like to use the phone only after 7PM to chat. I will be glad when I get a job and can afford to have a landline again.

We only have cell phones. There are three in our house so one is always charged even though there are five on our plan. My parents have the other two so they can be reached when they go out. Besides they have been having some problems with their land line and calls not even registering when someone calls them.

We did away with our landline several years ago.  We only use our cellphones now.  It seemed like the only calls we got on the landline was telemarketers.  Doing away with it eliminated those nuisance calls.

We have both a landline and cell phones.  We've had the same telephone number on our landline for at least 40 years and have some older relatives that only call the landline.  Plus, my cellphone doesn't get good reception in our house for some reason so I don't use it much when I'm home.

We have both. We have to have a landline because we have DSL internet which requires it but I wouldn't mind ditching the landline because we get mostly only junk calls on it.

I have both now, but before this month I only had a land line.  My son put time on my prepay cell phone just in case the house phone goes out because our electric goes out frequently with my husband being on Oxygen and my health not to great he was worried.  I just got to keep it on which is $35 a month I know to most of you, you might think that isn't much but my husband and I live off of $721 a month between the electric bill and a seperate electric bill for water we be almost $300 a month.  So we struggle that is why I am trying to be able to cash out every month here on Fusion Cash but that has not happened as of yet but I keep trying anyways.

I have both but have eliminated the long distance option from my landline, which saves some money on the monthly charge and still allows calling toll-free numbers and receiving long distance calls from friends and family.

We have both.  We mainly use the house line because we live out in the sticks and the reception isn't always great, plus it gives friends and family a constant # to call.  Mostly we use the cells  for our comings and goings and can be useful if broken down.

No cell phone here. I just have a land line. One of my room mates has a cell phone, but someone else pays the bill for it. Cell phones can be a really good thing to have, but they can also be a really bad thing. I have had a cell phone before, but couldn't afford to keep it. Since I don't have a need for one anymore, I don't have one (not that I could afford one right now anyway). Some people are way too dependent on their cell phones, and that can get really annoying. I was never anywhere near being so glued to my phone when I had one.

I have a landline for 911 emergencies. A landline will always work even if there's no electricity.

I sometimes forget to charge my cell phone and once in awhile I misplace in my home, so in times of emergency or in case the electricity goes out, my cell phone in my case is no good. For those reasons I keep a landline phone.

Our family has four cellular phones and one landline. I don't answer any of the phones. We keep the landline because a distant family member has been incarcerated and can only make collect calls...apparently you can't call a cellular phone collect? I think that Phones are and intrusion as is people who come to your house with out asking first.  Usually it is just a sales person.  Seriously-if I need something I will go online and order it.  Why do people still sell door to door? I check my voice mails and call the important ones back immediately.  I do answer the phone if it is my son, daughter or wife but they generally drop me a text or e-mail.

No cell phone. Just have a land line. I've had a cell phone before but it's been a long time. Some point in the future I'm sure I'll get a mobile again but I don't have any need for one now, and can't afford to have one 'just because.'
