Cell phone and Fax machine....

Chances are you still need a landline to send fax through your fax machine, unless you want to send your machine into the stockroom. Using cell phone to send data and images may not be cheap if you are using a limited plan from your provider, it may cost you dearly if you need to fax often in a month. You have to do some maths to find out the cost and benefit of using cell phone to send data, it very much depend on the type of service plan you have with your provider.

Here I am never used to fax anyone . When ever friends ask me to send a copy of the document, I just scan it and send it through email, so that they could take a print out of the document when ever necessarily. SO scanner is just enough form me. I never think behind of faxes.

Hello friend, If I had to choose between the two, I would keep the land line. Believe it or not, land lines are far more dependable than cell phones. They are not affected by solar flares either or storms that take down cell towers. Like you, I lived many years without a cell phone and frankly, I find them annoying most of the time. I cannot believe how and where people use their cell phone and "think" they are having a private conversation. Where I live, they have become a huge problem when driving and people are banned from texting or talking on the phone while driving unless it is hands free. Currently, I receive my DSL on stationary phone lines. The advantage to doing it is huge in my area. But people persist in thinking that broadband cable is faster, and the truth is, if you are the only person on the drop it might be, but usually you are not especially if you live in an apartment. I can tell you almost all the arguments you will hear about cell phones and in favor of them, but it took me a long time to tell people I didn't want to hear their discussion because I was keeping my land line. Besides, you always have to remember to carry an extra battery or charger or keep them charged or remember where they are. People are always loosing them or having to buy the next more advanced model. Nope, not me, I'll keep my land line phone.
