I am 30 something and been without a land line for 3 years and I don't miss it at all. I came across a site on the net from the Bureau of labor statistics that shows how going cell only is not necessarily a matter of age but a reality of the developing world. I also read The Sullivan Report on the net that shows that a cell phone is more important in safety and security than a land line, and I suppose it's logical - how can a land line help in an emergency if your not at home? The Sullivan Report also showed how much more money and time a person can make and save per month by having a cell phone. I used to have a contract mobile phone but canceled that as soon as the contract time expired - I found so many hidden costs that they didn't declare when taking the contract out. Now I use a Tracfone, it's great because I don't make a lot of calls so I save and I got the DMFL (double minutes for life of the phone) and I find it really pays. My husband is more vocal than me (on the phone, not in life) so he bought the Net 10 phone because it's 10 cents per minute with free roaming and he loves to use his phone to look up something on the net just to prove that I'm wrong in a conversation. I really cannot think why people still bother with landlines accept for an office.
