We had considered discontinuing our land lines and just use cell phones for voice lines.
We also have a fax and we considered using an internet based fax service.
During the process we discovered that we needed the land phone line for our home security system.
It turned out that a stripped down land line was about the same price as the internet fax service and much more reliable.
Plus, as stated above, the land line works better for 911 and emergency calls in the event of natural disaster.
Another option though less reliable is to use a line switch.
