I don't have a home phone, just a cell. That is the way most of my family is.
My mom however, only has a cell because I added her on to my plan. She still keeps her land line in Minneapolis. When I buy a house in a few monts I WILL have a land line!
****A year ago when the 35W bridge collapse happened there was no cell phone coverage available in the twin cities or surrounding suburbs. My cousins husband was a survivor and for hours after the tragedy took place there was no way for his family to know if he was ok until his wife saw him in an ambulance on the news! No one could reach my aunts, uncles and cousins, but we could call my mom at home. Her house became sort of a hub for getting news about Karge and his progress. ****
My advise is to keep your land line! Have all the extras (caller ID, 3 way calling) removed and pay for the peace of mind that if something unexpected happens that you will have a way to communicate. |
