          Is that what they call a land line? They still have those?

            Yep.. Where I live (small town) the cell reception sucks and given how often the storms take out the power, it's the only way I can make calls during that time (like to find out when they're going to fix the problem).

              I still use my home phone... It doesn't get all hot when I talk on it for long periods of time.

                    I do, but it's not a traditional line; it's VoIP. I find it useful to have another calling option for 3 reasons:

                    1. My cell phone (Sprint) doesn't always get great service.

                    2. VoIP direct international dialing rates are much cheaper than cell phone international plans, especially to foreign cell/mobile numbers. I don't like jumping through calling card hoops. Calling cards suck!

                    3. 3rd benefit is the speaker phone is better quality for when you have to call places that require u to hold, which I hate!

                    I also have a USA cell and a foreign tri-band for travel, but even though it's not my main phone contact anymore, a land line still has its place.

                    If you think you're too cool to use a land line:

                              I stopped using the phone about 4 years ago. Now I only e-mail, IM and answer to smoke signals in the sky.

                                Home and business still on landlines. When cell phone techology is perfected (especially indoors) I'll drop my landlines. Nothing more annoying than dropped calls and dead air...

                                  I haven't had a land line in over 4 years. With 1000 anytime minutes, unlimited long distance, unlimited nights and weekends... seriously, what is the point.

Plus, VOIP isn't as developed here..if I was in the States I probably wouldn't have a landline.

                                                                                          Not sure why, as we generally have good cell service. Probably just the psycho in me. I had a hard enough time switching to vonage. This nagging thought of 'what if we really are in the Matrix' wouldn't go away for the longest time.

                                                                                              I even thought of a 3rd reason to have a home line. If you're married with kids and wanted to call home, how would you do it if you only had a cell phone ?? I suppose the answer to that question would be that every family member in the house would need to have a cell phone.
