    I haven't had a house phone for over 9 years.

    Landlines are great. I have no future plans to rid myself of it.

    I understand too is an adverb and to is a preposition, I still prefer using to in place of too.

    The way I see it I'll save maybe 5-10 minutes over my lifetime not typing that extra o at the end of to. Even typing up this explanation saves me more time than typing that extra o


    Cheers,

    Yes. Some time ago. Am very close to dropping G&R's line as well and go with a Cell for it.

    I haven't had a home phone since... 2005?

    I briefly had home phone through the cable co back when they introduced to my neighborhood as part of a special deal but it messed up my internet so I canned it.

    Its too easy to get wrapped up in things that cost a lot money, and that we can go without but just have to get used to not having it. I didn't even have a cell phone until a few years ago, I didn't grow up having cable, ect. Ill be glad when we cut our monthly costs in half.
    I really commend you on this. It's a worthwhile effort but tough to do. I'm trying but it is really tough to make the cuts in some areas.

    We're working on buckling down on the eating out and groceries, since they are budget busters for us each month (not to mention a health issue eating out with crap food).

    Yeah Comcast doesn't serve this area. We had them back when we were still at Ft. Lewis...



    I found another company here that is regional but has all 3 for 70/mo. Ill check into it.

    We have a package deal with Comcast. I don't even know my home phone number. I list my cell number for everything.

    Agreed. We don't really get natural disasters in this part of the country, but it's remote enough that cable and cell just simply aren't reliable enough for emergency phone calls. OTOH, virtually all of the telephone lines around here are underground and I just don't recall ever having had a landline failure.

    I got rid of my land line 8 years ago. No regrets at all.
