Anyone NOT have a landline?
If so, how did you make the switch? Transfer your home # to your cell? Tell everyone to use your cell #? Drop down to the bare minimum rate offered by your home phone company? Something else? And how is it talking on a little cell phone all the time vs a handset? Although our cordless handsets are not much bigger than my first cell phone, so why is it even a concern for me??
Re: Anyone NOT have a landline?
We dropped our land line about 2 years ago and haven't given it a second thought. We both had cell #s already and we just completely cancelled the home phone (we were switching cell phone & internet providers away from our phone company at the same time) and kept the cell #s. Most people in our lives already had both #s and knew that we usually answered the cell phones but not so much on the land line.
I did run a test call to 911 to make sure they had both of our cell phones tied to our home address for emergency purposes.

We only have a land line for alarm system communication, nothing else. There isn't even a phone in the house. We only use our cells. Its been that way for years so it wasn't anything complicated for us. I will be making a switch sooner than later to do wireless communication for our alarm system, too, just not something I'm ready to mess w/ right now.
I didn't know you could do this. How did you do it? Just dial 911 and says whoops no emergency just want to make sure my cell # is tied to our house. LOL no offense. That's the first thing that popped in my head. I thought they could do this but cleary times have changed. This would make me feel so much better.
Yup. Pretty much. The first words out of my mouth were "This is a non-emergency call. I need to verify that the address tied to this phone line is correct." She verified. "Thanks." Done.
