Cell Phone vs Land Line

We have both land line and cell phones, we use landline phone when at home and cell phones when we are out. It will be better if we have both the options because if one is not working then other will be their for help.

I had cell phones from '87 to '99 - getting emergency calls during hurricanes and having to go in to work was just too much. Stuck with land lines until DW and I drove to WI - we got a couple of those Net10 phones 'just in case'. DW now thinks she wants to keep hers, I have not decided yet - I have to buy more minutes within 90 days or I lose the number. I like having a landline, the phone gets power from the line so the phone still works when the power is out. We don't have cable so I use DSL.

But my parents live in the same building and my office is also in the building where I live and there are land lines there. Worst case scenario for ME is I walk over to use the land phones there.

I had the cell company transfer my home number to my cell phone to keep it.

I see this happening a lot. My sister cut her land line and just kept a cellphone for her and her husband. I have a middle school aged child and I thought maybe I could save by cutting the house phone. Is this a good idea with a child at home?
