We haven't had a landline in two years. When we built our house, they had to run a 1/4 mile of phone line to reach us. The call quailty was absolute crap and they were not interested in fixing it. We cancelled and all but my youngest have cell phones. The 911 thing worried me some, but somebody's phone is always laying on the counter in case of emergencies and I believe they can actually tell where you are from your cell phone now as well. I didn't know that about 911 calls working on even disconnected lines. I'll probably put a phone into the wall jack if thats the case.

The money we saved by disconnecting allowed us to move up to more minutes. I think my landline was ringing about once week anyway... we've never looked back.
