Bye Bye Landline

[Guest Imacellphone]

I was wondering how many people don't even have a landline anymore? With Cell Phones, Skype, and VoIP alone the landline seems to be on its way out. I mean I have my cell and then SunRocket VoIP (in the states) which is 25% of a landline bill and have had no problems. I didn't even notice until someone pointed out that I didn't even have a landline. I was like, "Yeah...hmm...cool"

Anyone else totally ditch the landline for things like VoIP and/or cell phone?

Only have the landline for broadband internet access - if i had a wireless connection wifi/gprs/3g/edge whatever technology that could give me reliable access the same as landline broadband adsl, and at the same price, then i would obviously go for it!

Maybe i should buy a house next to a hotspot - preferably an open and free one!

Only have a landline for BB access.

we DO have a phone plugged in - but generally ignore it. Don't use VOIP or Skype though

Open free hot spots are nice. I found some of those at my bro's temporary housing while he moves, was a life saver. The thing is with me is that I use the Cell Phone so much that I don't really need a landline, but my landlord requested one for the alarm system. Dang it. So I started looking in and VoIP is crazy cheap ($16.58 for SunRocket) and though it was close to basic telephone prices I could also get long distance and a whol ebunch of other goodies. So worked out. Anyone go without landline with a family?
