I have a Landline and Cell phone in my home.  I have 2 lines and 1 line is dedicated to my PC.  Have been thinking of getting rid of it because of the cost.

I have both but the landline is only because I work out of my house and need it for the fax machine.

We have the optimum package.Telephone,cable tv & internet.Decent deal with 3 hook-ups.I actually stopped paying my cell phone bill last 2 months cos i dont use it and NOT a texter.

Would like to have one for $10 a month just for emergencys.

I always have a landline in case of an emergency and I will always have one. A landline phone will always work even when the power goes out and it's the only reliable way 911 can know where you are in case of an emergency.

we have both.  while we love our cell phones, my 77 yr old mother lives with us and she just cant give up the landline lol.  she says it makes her more secure feeling knowing that she doesnt have to worry about forgetting to charge a battery.

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

I need both a landline and a cell phone. I used to use my landline for dsl service. Today it's used mostly as a fax line and occasionally to dial my cell phone when I've lost it.

We have both, only because our home security system must have the land line, otherwise we would most likely do away with that one.

I've got both. A lot of storms come through where I live and having both a landline and cell phone gives me two ways to communicate if one way fails. Most people I know only have a cell phone though.

We do not have landline phones anymore. I think we have not had a landline in about 3 or 4 years now. So, we just use our cell phones.

At the moment, only cellphones, but lately I've been thinking of having a landline again. The price isn't too bad, and what if its something we will need again.
