Default Re: Cell Phone vs Land Line

Really good article - thanks! I am so glad I found this site.

I recently cancelled our home phone because I found out that our cable company (which also provides the phone line we used to have) offers a value tier for Internet access that is 256k (5 to 10 times faster than dial up using the phone line). We use our cellphones for phone calls. Since US Cellular offers free incoming calls, as well as free nights and weekends, that saves us a lot of money. And our cellphones are always with us. I feel much safer knowing I can call for roadside assistance if I break down (that only cost a few dollars a year) and my son and I can reach each other wherever we are. Some friends of ours got free incoming and free mobile to mobile with US Cellular, which is an even better deal. The only problem is, you have to get a fairly expensive plan to be able to get all these perks. Like you said, it all depends on how you use the phone.
