Landline or cell phone?

We don't have a land line phone. I think it is more convenient to have cellphones as you can contact the person wherever he is. There are telecom companies in my country offering dsl with free land line. Depending on the person's preference, it may be helpful to them. In my case however, it would just be another unnecessary expense for my family.

I got rid of my landline service because the cellphone, and wi-fi, is good enough for me. If I could, I would get rid of all the chords in my home... but alas! I wish, though, that cellphones and plans would be cheaper.

My boyfriend and I don't have a landline in our apartment. We have our cell phones. There's no point in us having a land line when we are barely home and neither of us are huge phone people. But we always like to have our cell phones with us.

Hey, I'm not really responsible yet for the decisions in my household, but at the moment we have both a landline and a cell phone. The only time when someone should get rid of their landline is when they have a cell phone contract, where they get a huge amount of credit to use each month. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!

I prefer using cellular phone since it is handy. In case of emergencies, wherever I maybe, I can easily ask for assistance from others.

Most of the people here in the Philippines using cellphones. So for me, i prefer using cellphone because it is much easier for me to reach them.

I currently have a cellphone. In my country the Philippines, there are some phone companies that have combined landline and cellphone serviced in one phone plan. Its much cheaper and affordable. Its better than getting two separate phone service plans so its really practical.

This is a really good discussion because I am sure that different people have different opinions when it comes to landlines and cell phones,I am sure there are some people who have a cell phone but do not have a landline and then I am sure there are probably people who have a landline and do not have a cell phone and I can understand that the bills can pile up,right now my parents have a landline and they both have cell phones,except they usually keep their cell phones off when they are at home,and people call the landline,me and my fiance do not have a cell phone because it got ran over,but we are hoping to get a new one sometime in the next couple weeks,and when we had a cell phone,and when we get another one we will leave it off when we are at the house,and people can call the landline if they want to talk to us,and I am not sure how much my parents pay for the landline vs. the cell phones but I am sure it is probably a pretty big bill,have a great day,good luck with your life,and Happy Posting.

Hi clorissa,I cannot see me giving up my landline. It comes combined with my 24 hour internet connection and is relatively cheap. Cell phone calls are much more expensive, especially international ones and they account for most of my calls.

We still have our landline at home. It's still useful with rates that are reasonable. I think we still can't do away with it... We have relatives who prefer to call on the landline. I know people who chose not to have mobile phones.
