Charter works very hard selling their phone service. I'm not buying it. My power goes out every now and then, my cable goes out somewhat more often, and every so often a cell tower goes down or Verizon's computers get scrambled. I have yet to ever lose my landline phone service. I need to be reachable for emergencies...can't drop the landline until the other possibilities around here step up their game. Cost isn't an issue for me. Reliability is.

I have not had a land line for about 7 years, have not missed it a single bit.

Only down side is everybody uses the cell, and has high expectations that you are always available

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'm too old school to give up all my landlines. I still prefer the clarity and reliability of a landline and cell signal spotty at my house.

I got rid of one landline (was dedicated fax line), and replaced it with a magic jack line, which I can recommend without reservation. Saved $50 per month there.

Got rid of as many extras on the cable as possible, but was limited there as I live on the 'net, and the high speed package is a bundle.

Cell bill has two lines on it (mine and GF) and we share minutes and data so cheaper than two cell bills for sure if you don't tend to use a lot of peak minutes/data.

We need the landline / voip for business. Haven't had an actual landline for many years. VOIP through t-mobile. $10/mth, free long distance US/Canada. We are changing providers so that service is going away. Opted for the Ooma to replace it. Picking up one today and going to test before porting the bus#. Thanks guys for the input.

Ditched my land line about 2 years ago and it's money in the bank. I cringe when I think about how much money was spent so telemarketers would have a number to call.

Ain't that the truth? Telemarketing calls are about the only calls we get on the landline.
