I went without a landline for five months and relied on the cell phone while still working and my wife was living over here. Didn't miss the landline at all. My wife got a landline in the new house. When I moved over here I said let's get rid of it, but she called the phone company who dropped our bill from $70 to $50 a month (Canada and U.S. unlimited calling). She wanted to keep it then so I said ok.

Then another interesting development has occured. It seems Time Warner Cable and our phone company are competing. Our landline just dropped to $32, with the same service. This right after Time Warner was trying to sell us $19 for the first year and $34 after that.

I guess the bottom line is, as long as the landline remains this cheap for unlimited calling in the U.S. in Canada, I will keep it. At the same time I was able to reduce the number of minutes on my cell phone and saved $20 plus there. It's redundant in my opinion, but when Sh#t hits the fan you will not get out on a cell phone.

So I guess it just depends how it works out for you financially. If you can afford it, the redundancy in my opinion is worth keeping.

Good Luck!
