Money Question About Phones

[brnidokiegurl 0]

Heard the new trend is to discontinue the normal house phone and continue to use only your cell

has anyone went this route and what problems did you find? (thinking about it myself)

did that several years ago, had no home phone, just a cell. worked great other than having to stand outside to make calls due to reception if you go this route you need to find out what coverage is provided by who and also get a phone that has the best signal (nokia used to be the worst when i got my cell)

I just went this route when I moved 2 weeks ago. Verizon couldn't get the phone service to work at my house (radio interference) so I am just going to try using my cell phone. The only unnerving thing about it is if you forget to charge it but other than that I haven't had any issues.

cell phones only for us too! I think it's more convenient...don't have to worry about someone not giving you a message as you always have it with you.

I dunno. I thought about it but a few things keep me away from it.

1. You gotta check on the 911 coverage. That makes me nervous.

2. Remember when way back when everyone lost power (from Ohio to Michigan to NY?). Guess what, the only phones that worked were landlines. Cell towers were down.

3. Just never having to worry about where the phone is, can I hear it ring. At least with landline, you hear it in the bedroom upstairs, in the garage, in the basement etc.

We have only cells and haven't encountered any difficulties so far.

We have a home phone BUT my mother in law is the only one who uses it ... I use my cell for everything. Business, personal, etc. Sure cuts down on those missed calls that no one ever tells me about.

I love it. No issues I can think of. Have Verizon and I get wonderful reception, so that's not a problem.
