I knew some people just can't make the transition from landline, home phone to simply have your own cell phone. As for older people, they used to have a home phone at home, and they don't want to switch their old telephone number...

For a consumer reasonable reaction, we should ditch the landline, since majority of us have a cell phone, or we could switch to voice over IP service, like magic jack or Ooma. Now, since Verizon, base on my opinion, they aren't...

Since all family members has their own mobile phone, we already stopped our subscription in landline phone few years ago. No one uses it anyway, and we don't receive calls as well from that phone.
In this "mobile" world, do...

Many people use their cell phone as their home phone. I have started doing this myself to cut costs. Since i have a cell phone that I can take around with me, I really don't see a real need to get a home phone. How about you - Do...

The old fashion telephone seems to be going the way of the Dodo. Pay phones are nearly extinct, hardwired phones are rare even in homes. Cordless phones are nice but still tied to a base and restricted by radio waves. VoIP can...

Do you have both a cell phone and a home phone?
My parents still have both, but I've not had a home phone since I moved out. I just don't see a need for it, since I'm going to have a cell phone anyway, it doesn't seem worth it...

Many people have gone to nothing but a cell phone for their phone now. My family all has their own cell phones so I saw no need to keep the house phone. Do you have a home phone? Do you own a cell phone?

I took mine out of my house YEARS ago. I had some wiring issues and they wanted to charge me $75 to fix the lines in the house. I told them no thanks and just stick to the cell phone now. We are not home enough to even need one...

I dislike our home phone. Will only talk when one of our kids calls and wants to chat. I am not good about initiating calls and primarily because I have other things I'd rather be doing. No, I am not a nerd or a boring person and...

I purchased my first cell phone over 8 years ago and it was used for emergencies only and remained in my car. Today, I never go anywhere without my cellphone and I probably use it more than I do our home landline phone. Even my 80...
