I'm not too sure, but I AM sure that some do.

Land line here. No cell phone, ipod, mp3, xbox, playstation. Really roughing it:)!

We have 2 - one for voice and one for fax.

Yes we still have our regular phone. Not sure why though. My wife and I have cell phones.

I do!

I do, but I don't know why, now that you mention it!

I do. My cell phone rarely gets used.

I do, I hate to depend on any ONE thing. thats in most cases for most anything ( except for women there I stick with "just one ")

I would never be without one at home.

i do

I still have one, but it is also fiber optic, so it will only work for 7 hours in an emergency.

No cell phone here. Just a plain ol' dial up but DSL for the 'puter. Heck, we still used our rotary phone up until 4-5 years ago becasue it still worked just fine.

Nope, I don't. My cell phone is the only phone I need.

Yes, because 1)land lines are a reliable backup in case of a disaster and 2)I want to reserve my cell phone number for people that I know I want to talk to.

Yep, but only cus I get agood deal with the Internet and Cable TV, the phone is as good as free :-)

Yes, I do. I have bundled services for internet, cable and phone with free long distance, so it costs very little to keep. With the cell phones, we only have a certain amount of shared minutes between all of us, so when I'm at home it makes sense to use the house phone. Plus, I get a better connection on the land line when I'm in the house.

Yes I still have a home phone because you can usually rely on it working no matter what.

Yes. Because: A. My Dad is really stingy about phoning my mobile because of the costs, so I'd never get to talk to him if I didn't. B. Apparently potential employers tend to consider people who only give a mobile number as a contact as being potentially a bit dodgy, or just less settled. If you want to advertise something or sign up for a service, some places will only accept you if you have a landline phone number. c. It's a lot cheaper to make calls from a landline.

yes because it is the only way i can get dsl.

Because we don't have a cell. Have never seen the need for one. I don't need to be contacted at every waking moment of the day or night. I don't need to talk to someone away from home. That's what a pay phone is for. We have one small home phone bill and it's very reasonable. We use email and phoning thru the pc for long distance. It's much cheaper. I am not annoying anybody else by talking while shopping or at a concert or meeting or driving. It's just not a big deal for us. We are not that important. And our mergenicies are handled quite well without them.

My wife pays for the telephone. She also has a Cell Phone. I just asked her why doesn't she get rid of the telephone and she said: That too many people have that number....and.....(prepare yourself for something kind of silly...)"she got fond of the telephone...it is like part of the family" In other words, for my wife the telephone is like a pet!

There is no cell service in my area

We do, but we bought our home in 1996 and had the land line installed as a matter of habit. At that time, my husband had a cell phone but I didn't. Now we both do. We are planning on selling our home and moving to a new one possibly next year so we'll have to make a decision at that time. I like the concept of having it so you can give your cell number out selectively. I do the same with e-mail. One for personal and one for business relationships.

I not only have a land line, but I have one with a CORD. If we have a power outage, that phone still works. The only thing that prevents it from working is if the phone lines go down.

Myself and my daughter each have a cell phone,we haven't had a regular landline in 5 years or so.

Cell phone only!

I don't have a cellphone, just a land-line telephone. Get Guinness!! lol.

I home office so I have two land lines (one voice and internet and one fax) plus my wife and I both have cell phones

Both

I have a cell phone, and I use the landline.

I have both, I mainly use cell phone.

I have both and most of the time I use my landline.

I have a landline at home - I can't be doing with giving my mobile number out to the bank as well as friends! It would *never* stop!! lol

I have a land line and a cell phone. I don't just live alone, so it is practical.

I have a land line and cell phones.

We actually have two landlines at home. I don't use my cellphone that often.

I have both and use both

We have both and use both, cell phones are used more tho. The land line is more for my 9 y/o son to use in case of emergency at home or for his little friends to call instead of them calling my cell all the time.

Whats a land-line telephone? Is it something the keystone cops used?

Yes, for I am on dial up, and my land phone is right next to me, actually. My mind is up to speed with the day but my technology needs to catch up to speed.

I don't know anyone outside of my mother and father in law who still have one. I don't think I've ever heard it ring, most people just call them on their cell phones. I haven't used a land line in a very long time...Must be about 2 years since I had one...

I have not had a land line in my home since August 2007. I do not miss it.

Absolutely, and I've got a really low tech phone too. Our area gets bad ice storms every few years and tornados most summers. When the power goes off, that old low tech land-line phone still works.

that's all I use. I can't afford a cell phone. The only affordable plan in my area won't work at my apt. I used to think I HAD to have a cell phone but I have found here lately, that a lot of things i thought I couldn't live without, I am living without

Howdy, If you live in the south and have hurricanes which cause long power outages, you better have a land-line. Bright house and those types of digital phones go off when the power goes off, and without power you can't charge your cell phone either. Just my thoughts, Yak

We still have a desktop rotary phone. We'll looking into going all cellular, but not sure if my SBC DSL would work without using a telephone service, just a cellular phone and DSL. ATT.com is one of the worst website out there, and hard to know what they're selling.

I do. I don't own a cell phone and don't plan to.

At work, that is what we have. One land-line. No long distance and still costs $60 a month. what a ripoff. At home I use MagicJack for $20 a YEAR. Unlimited long distance in the USA and Canada. I like that for phone service! $1.67 a month. Great deal.

Hello PartRadio, Um, my pastor has a land line and a cell phone both. I haven't had a land line for a least a year. Cell phones are more easier to use and you don't have to wait to be home to hear about an important message you need to hear.

They sure do, and I used mine about an hour ago. There are very many reasons to still have one, actually. More reliable 911 service. Currently, 911 operators have to call the phone company to find out who owns the cell phone and get the address. This decreases your response time for 911 calls. You may think, "Well, I'll just tell them where I live", but what if you couldn't? Also, if you have small children, and they need to call 911, can they give the info the 911 people need? Your land line is in then 911 system and even if you call 911 and promptly hang up, they respond, because they have all the info they need. You can't have a reliable burglar alarm system without a land line. You can have sirens, but there's no way for your alarm system to call the police or fire department. You can't have DSL service without a land line. Have cable Internet? If you lose power, you lose your cable and your Internet and your cable phone service. During a power outage, you don't lose your land line. You don't lose your cell phone, either, but what if the power outage lasts awhile? Cell towers will only run on a battery backup for so long, then they also die. What if your phone is on a low battery? Plug into your car charger? What good is that? Is your car in your living room? What if you misplace your cell phone? Can you find it if someone calls? What if the battery dies? With a land line, there's always another phone or another jack. What if you accidentally leave your phone somewhere? You can't screen your calls on a cell phone. You can see the number of the inbound caller, but you can't listen to the message as it's being left like you can on a good old traditional answering machine, and pick it up if it's important. Don't think this is an issue? What if your husband, wife, child broke down on the side of the road and used someone's cell phone to call you for help, or even walked to a payphone to call? On a pay phone, you can't even RETURN the call. If you make international long distance calls, you might be in for some seriously outrageous charges. You have to jump through hoops for a reasonable LD cell phone provider for international, in many cases. What if your phone breaks or malfunctions and you have a 'contract' with your cell phone company and they don't see eye to eye with you? You have to buy a new phone. If a land line phone breaks, you have to buy a new one, too, but they're everywhere, cheap, and you usually have more than one of them anyway. Minor hassles for everyday things, like ordering a pizza, for example. Some delivery places will still not accept a cell phone as verification. Also, just opening a checking account or other accounts that are common and you tend to take for granted. Applying for a loan, trying to buy a car, etc. Your cell phone can't be verified as quickly as your land line and you have to fax your bill to them to prove who you are and where you are. Your cellular network doesn't have nearly as many trunks available as your home phone. If something 'big' happens and you try to make a call, you'll likely not be able to connect with your cell. You'll encounter circuits busy conditions with your land line, as well, but not nearly as often as on a cell. Transmission issues. Cell phones break up. Landlines don't. Bringing this home is a very recent disaster that hit the state of Ohio. We actually experienced a 'hurricane'. Yep. You heard me right. Hurricane Ike came screaming through this land-locked state and knocked out power to over 2 million people. Many of those people were without power for over a WEEK. If you had a land line, though, your phone still worked. Hey, it's something. Can't charge your cell phone in a blackout, now, can you? So, there you go. The choice is yours. Yep. Landlines are going the way of the dinosaur, but they are still useful, at least until technology catches up with our portable world.

I use one every day. we have 3 connected to the land line in our house. I even know people who do not have a cell phone and never will have one.

Not only land line but I have a heavy rotary dial one. Last time I used it was yesterday.

Yes, we do. It is cheaper. We used it a few minutes ago.

We only have a land line.

We do, only because the online broadband system available in this area is the phone company DSL. If cable Internet was available, the land line would have been gone several months ago. Satellite Internet is available, but it is too expensive at this time.

...I have a land-line, as I live in the country & have to use dial up for my computer...but I mostly use my cell phone. One exception...my cell phone only allows for a brief voice mail message, whereas, my land line message can take up a half hour...& I have friends who use the entire 20-30 minutes to leave a message...they are monologue quality...where I laugh & cry listening to them...

We have two land lines and two cell phones.

~ Mobile ~

vonage and mobile

All the three I am having

If I didn't live out in the middle of nowhere I still wouldn't have a home phone but there are no cell towers there. I went for nearly a decade with only my trusty cell phone and loved it!

I have a landline and internet access with AT&T. I have a mobile with Verizon.

No I got rid of the land line, I only have a mobile and my internet is cable.

Landline, cell, internet +5

$10 a month to add a cell phone to my plan and keep it at home. $35 a month for a simple land line with no features. Tough call.

I still have a land line. I canceled my cell phone and bought a TracPhone for emergencies.

Vonage,I love it. The only thing that sucks is if your internet is out so is your phone,but it hasnt happened to me yet.

all 3. there's 3 computers, 3 cells, and 2 landlines

all 3

I have both. It's cheap enough anyway.

I do, It comes with a package deal I get in France. Internet+tv+phone for thirty euros. and the phonecalls are free to landlines abroad so I need the landline for that. when I lived in Scotland, I just had my mobile, and of course some carrier pigeons. :p

still have land line.. its cheaper.

i have all 3

All three costs a bloody fortune lol

I have all 3

since we all got cell phones and every one that knew us called us on them, we canceled the home phone, all we kept getting on it was sales people anyways

landline no cells at all. Safer for the landline incase of an emergency they can trace the landline quicker and maybe save a life.

Just a cell at my house. I have a cell and so does my 8 yr old.

I have one and will always keep it...I also have a cordless phone.....but no cell phone...really have no need for one.... Besides, if the power goes out, you can't call the power co. on a cordless or cell phone!! well, with cell phones, maybe, maybe not...... So as someone else here said, never depend on just one thing!!!!!!!!

No, my s/o and I each have cell phones, I just don't believe there is a need for landlines anymore.

I'm in the Navy and work at Naval Headquarters. My land-line is still the most reliable way for the JOC (Joint Operations Centre) to reach me after hours. Hope this helps.

Yes, There is no cell phone service in my area.

No, I'm not on the phone very much so both my fiance and I have a cell phone and that's all we need. It only becomes an issue when I want to find a way to get internet connection at home because very few places can give you internet without an existing phone line.

Land line for now anyway. I've always had one and it probably won't feel right to get rid of it. . Besides, I like it. Especially it's lack of features and user manuals.

Yes, I never left my land phone in a cab

Yes indeed, im with BT :)

ditched mine a few years ago.

Have both, mainly use landline cause its ALOT cheaper.

Yes, can't have internet without land line.

Yes. I'll always have it. Cell phones just don't compare to voice quality. I actually hate talking on a cell phone -- they get hot and you can't tilt your head to talk while doing paper work. I also use a fax a good bit. When everything is out due to a tornado, the phone always works. I don't have any features on it so it's quite inexpensive. It's the best utility value there is. And the DSL is just as dependable as the voice service -- never have lost it. Friends with cable internet service are forever complaining about loss of service. Also, if you need to call 911, you know they will know where you are. One other thing, if you want to be listed in the telephone directory you need a land line.

Nope, the only thing it was good for was something for telemarketers to call. I'm exclusively cell phone now.

Yes - prefer landline to cell. Only use my cell when outside the home. Also safety - 911 feature. I also prefer the ergonomics of a home phone.

Yes, but just as a backup. Cell is my main number that I want people to use. I guess I could do away with the land-line and just use a phone booth as a backup.

I have a cordless phone, but I always use my corded phone to call my bank or my credit card company -- it's more secure. And telemarketers don't bother me since I put my name and number on the Do Not Call Registry. Also, I use my answering machine to screen calls.

yes but rarely use to dial out. Mostly in coming calls. My cell is cheaper to use.+5

Yep +4

No, my sister and I both have cell phones so a home phone would be a completely unnecessary bill.

Land line is still a very effective communication tool even if mobile phone and internet exist.Phone system for small business usually give importance for the landlines.http://www.pbx101.com

yes - need it for my internet (you can imagine the type of swamp i live in!)

yes but only because it's the only way I can get broadband internet here. If I had an alternative for the internet I wouldn't bother.
