Do you have a land phone line? Wife and i bought a home 2+ years ago, no land line, no intention to get one but we still keep getting flyers from the cable company to get it… What say you? ---

Nope. Noone in my family has one except for my brother and he only has one because he has 2 kids and wants a land-line there in case his babysitter has an emergency or something. ---

Does VOIP count? I have a Vonage line that costs me $19.99 a month. I was gonna cancel it when I was paying $40, but she said my usage is low enough to bump down to the minimum rate. Meh, it’s the number I give to people that I don’t care about. ---

magic jack FTW It’s like the bat phone around here though. It’s the number people call when our cells phone ringers are off / on vibrate / in the other room. ---

I do not have one now, but once Sarah pops out a kid, I will get one. It is a little more secure than a battery powered phone. ---

Yep. Land line and Virgin Moble for my cell. The wife has Cricket. Still cheaper than getting 2 decen cell plans. ---

Yes. I work from home one day a week and $20 a month is worth work not having my cell phone number, not to mention conference calls blow through daytime minutes and battery. Also for signing up for shit, I don’t want that BS on my cell. Oh, it’s also very handy for finding my cell. ---

It’s been 9 years since I’ve had a land line. I cut the cord a long time ago. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/poll-do-you-have-a-land-line/155339.md?page=2)
