My Guy and I may be going from land line to cell. I've only used a cell like 4 or 5 times; I embrace most technology but am somewhat of a luddite when it comes to cell phones. However, I am on the road often enough to wish I actually had one.

We pay $17 a month total for a phone. That's $8.50 each. Plus maybe $10 a year on a long distance phone card. So it may be hard to equal that.

We are both not into contracts; we know it may be a little cheaper, but I have heard to many stories about being locked in to a yucky plan to want one. (Or else someone unexpectedly moved, or had other lifestyle changes.)

I'll be looking at this thread to see if anyone has a pay as you go barebones but they are pretty happy with. I'm also interested to see what the experieince has been if you gave up lanline altogether.
