Thread: Gave up the landline today : Poll

So I got my first cell phone, a Droid Razr, end of December 2011. In short order I didn't even want to take calls on the landline. I would redirect to the cell and talk on bluetooth, hands free. So four months later I finally cut the umbilical cord and disconnected my land line for the first time in must be 40 years. I'll be saving around $50 a month. That'll pay for my latest escher.

I wish

Our cell service drops off about 1/2 mile from the house, and Hughes Net doesn't have the speed for Internet calls

We have our fingers crossed

Next month am going cell only,just have my 10 year old flip phone,works for me

Haven't had a landline in....ever. Cell only for 18 years.

Picked up a Google number last year and I forward that to my cell. That's the number I give out to stores and such. This way I can block telemarketing by adjusting settings on the google account.

All those signals just floating around in the air waiting for someone to just pick them up and listen in and do who knows what. Ask me how I know-Har har.

At least that way someone will finally listen to me .......

We dropped our landline phone and cable package well over a year ago and now we save close to $1000 a year by not having either. They only calls we received on the landline were telemarketers. Good riddance.

I agree with ReardenSteel, it is nice not having telemarketers call you all the time. And it saves a bunch money.

I still have my landline AND use a rotary phone on it. No kidding!

Gave mine up about 3 yrs ago. Any one that calls me calls on my cell so I thought why pay for a landline just to talk to telemarketers.
