Land Line Phones?

[agchat]

Just wondering how many have given up there landline phone and rely entirely on there cell. Myself, I have a hard time to give it up for two reasons, privacy, and dependability. what are others thinking??

We still use land line, as cell service at times is goofy...

Haven't had a land line for 15 years almost.

Agree, important business info and private family matters all on land line. A good friend of mine warned me he knew of some of my neighbours with scanners that monitor cell phone. Even on my remote for the landline, I say wait a minute while i go to the hard line.
I have real estate agents living close to me on each side. Quarter mile each way.

SCC ruled that since cell phone signals travel through air it is not an infringement on our charter rights to intercept and record cell conversations without a wiretap warrant.

Still use land line as cell coverage is not reliable and am only 3.5 miles from a tower...

The way Bell has cut back on maintenance here cell is actually more reliable. I've seen trees that have grown around the Bell lines like an old wire fence. Cell only for 3 years

Dropped the land line this summer. I replaced it with a smart phone. Hubby wasn't convinced it was a good idea until the day I was in the field with him, checked the radar, got him to stop cutting hay, and swictchto baling in time to save a field. Now he's a believer.

It didnt save us any money though. No regrets.

I still like my landline for business in the house. Sometimes I can here my voice echo in my cell phone...drives me nuts.
