Just cell now, but having a landline isn't a terrible idea imo. But really, landlines are just money dumps anymore.

I wasn't using it much 5 years ago and had a very low hanging line in the back yard. I mean I this thing was only about 6 feet off the ground going from my house to the pole. I called the phone company a couple of times to come and raise it and they refused. One day after running into it yet again with something I went out with my bolt cutters and cut it at the house, rolled up the wire and put it at the base of the pole. It's been nothing but cell from that day on.

We still use a landline, but through our electric co-op fiber line. We have cell phones, but they are just phones, no text and no data and pay $25/mo for both.

No landline for over ten years. One drawback though is that 911 can't find you sometimes.

Heh, negative. I made that call on my cell just after laying the wire at the base of the pole. "Yes I took care of the low hanging wire problem myself, and I need to cancel service immediately."

Landline for business. Plus with my provider, you get a landline thrown in for the price of regular internet. Silly not to.

VOIP, because we don't get cell reception in our home.
It's $9.99 a month through TWC for North American unlimited calling. It's bundled with TWC (Spectrum, now) 200mbps internet and costs $67.99 per month with taxes. It's a bargain, IMO. |
