I've always been a cell phone person. I can't think of the last time I used my home phone but to find my cell phone.  ;)

This is sooo new to me; but I do like the idea of putting my $02 (cents) in.  We use our cell for our home phone most of the time.  We have a roll-over plan with a particular company and that really meets our needs.

We use our home phone.  Where we live you cannot rely on your cell phone to have service all of the time because of the mountains.

i rarely talk on the phone but i text, check email, facebook, etc on my cell phone several times a day. i think the only time i ever use my house phone is when its my kid's school, doctor's, etc calling, so that's not very often. my house phone probably only rings 3 or 4 times a week, and its usually a wrong number.   :)  as i'm typing this i'm wondering why i even have it?

Boy O boy did my hubby get mad at me with the cell phone!! He would buy me a phone and some how I would end up loosing it! I swear he bought me 4 in less than three months, (yes we had insurance on them but it still costs money)!
Needless to say my hubby cut me off the cell phone's for good. So i'm a home phone person, Ha cant loose a phone with a find button on the charger!!!

I use my home (landline) phone mostly.  I use my Cell phone basically for emergencies.  I would never get rid of my landline phone because the towers aren't always dependable, plus I don't like talking on the phone.

Hmm...most definitely mobile for personal and professional reasons. And yea, like others not even sure why I have a land line at home ???, but then it has helped me a lot cos I give this num for all the surveys and online stuff  :notworthy:
I don't have to worry about getting charged for minutes to answer some survey people and once ur num is on the internet with marketing/research sites (not all of them), u know, u begin to get calls from 3rd party agents who are soooooooooo bent upon selling their product. :dontknow: >:(

I have been completely wireless for almost 6 and a half years and just recently got a landline with dsl so since it is there i have been trying to use it more.

Soon there will be a cellphone that links to your home phone. All one bill and one phone number. Great idea, why didn't i think of it. lol

Cell phone my husband and i both have one we don't own a landline. personally we just don't need one. It is a bummer when you loose your cell or misplace it but all in all i think it is beneficial you can take a cell with you so you don't have to worry about missing an important call. I love texting it is the best so you don't have to actually talk and you can't do that or facebook on a home phone landline

personally, i rely on my cell phone.
a home phone, at this point, would be an
added and unnecessary expense.

i know a lot of people who have gotten
rid of their home phones completely...
its funny to be at someone's house and
hear the phone ring, though.

its almost as foreign as the old dial-up
internet noise, haha.

I have a home phone but I never use it. P:
Usually only people who are trying to sell stuff call that number anyway.

So yeah, I always use my cell.

Since money is tight< I don't have a home phone, just a cell. It is so much more convenient.  It's hard fo believe that just a few years ago we didn't know what a cell phone was.

I rarely use a home phone. I have a cell phone but I rarely use that
too. Only to call someone to pick me up when I get out of college
early for the day.

I would much rather use a cell phone rather than a home phone. Mostly because I'm lazy and usually have my cell in my pocket. (Or in my purse.) That and I usually text a lot of people.

However it's much cheaper to use a home phone. O_o

I use my home phone the most. My cell phone is only for emergencies. I don't use it just to chat. Therefore, a limited amount of people have my cell number.

Definitely use my cell phone most of the time. Well, all of the time, except when I let my bill go and then I'm forced to use the home phone! Cell phone bills nowadays=way too expensive.

Use my cell phone more....really only use home for when people call me on it ...i think there is definitely a greater shift towards cell phones.....I like the mobility they provide...and texting too :) having a home phone can still be nice, esp. if you don't want to give your cell #to everyone and feel like you have to have it everywhere all the time

Mostly use a cell phone. Home phone bill just went up almost 20% so I'm thinking about nixing it and just going with magicjack. Not sure how they can justify the price hike like that.  :bs:

Although we do have both a landline home phone and a cell phone, we use our cell phone much more than our home phone.  The only reason we have a home phone is for our dsl.  It is cheaper to keep and pay for our home phone with only local service than to pay for a different type of internet in our area.

My husband and I use our cell phones more than the house phone.  I will get rid of the homephone as soon as the contract is up. We are paying money to have it and rarely use it.
