Me:
Cell, No land line.
Also have a free web based NetZero answering machine number to give to those people I don’t want to call my cell, like insurance agents who will respond to bid requests.
Can’t recall how I lived any other way.
What’s your setup?
Just recently bought a cell phone, but never use it. I have it in my glove compartment for emergencies, but rarely touch it. Have prepaid minutes but no contract, montly billing, etc. Only one person knows about it (my wife), and she knows if she tries to call it, I’ll end up getting her message a few weeks later when I get around to checking the voicemail.
That’s how I like it and that’s how it’s going to stay for me, personally. Land lines (home & work) are just fine with me.
I had a cell for a year several years ago and then I cancelled it because I hardly ever used it. Most of the time when people would call my cell I was at home and they could have just called my home phone.
I’m not a big phone user I use it maybe four times a week. So I just use my land line with an answering machine.
I do a lot of IM’ing though as my computer is always on when I am home even if I am not using it.
I have a cell, but I only got it when I started doing freelance work and if I missed a call I missed out on a paycheque. Now that I am a 9-5’er I rarely use it. My friends who live on their cells call me on mine, but they are the only ones.
OH, and I have a land line as well.
Land line and two cells. Hubby uses his cell all the time, even when he’s home. He texts and sends photos, plays games, loves all the bells and whistles.
I only turn mine on when I’m away from home, and I don’t know how to do anything except talk on it. I recently switched to a pay as you go TracPhone and expect to save a bundle.
I have a cell phone and no land line for going on six years now.
I make a ton of LD calls and the cell is half the cost and I can take it with me when I travel. I never want to go back to land lines. For me, they are very unnecessary.
I have not had a problem with unsolicited calls, but I am wary each time I have to fill out a form or provide a cell number as my home number. That NetZero answering service is a good idea. I will have to check that out.
We have a land line, and my wife has a cell phone. I’m not a big phone user, and in fact we just switched options on the land line to give us 30 minutes of long distance a month for a reduced fee, rather than unlimited access that goes unused and costs more.
I don’t do anything that requires me to have a cell phone. If the truth be told, I don’t even know how to operate one. I’m not a technophobe, I’ve just never had to do it.
I have a cell that I rarely use (though that will probably change shortly). If I could ditch the land line I would, but we don’t have good cell reception at home.
This doesn’t work well. My brother bought my mom a phone for emergencies. She put it in her glove box and it was dead every time she needed it.
Be sure to sign up on the National Do Not Call Registry. It’s government run, free, lasts for years, and you need supply nothing but a phone # and an email address.
Ditto, though no wife. (My folks have the number.) Though I keep my cell in my backpack. Seeing it in there when I unload from work reminds me to occasionally plug it into the charger.
I just got another cell phone after not having one on and off for years. I mainly call Canada so my cell phone bills were huge. But now I have a new one with a shared plan with my husband and mainly use it to call him. And I have two landline numbers at my house.
I have both a cell and a landline (I mainly have a landline because I’m living in residence and it comes with the room–a year and a half ago when both my roommate and I had cells we didn’t bother with one). I’m still not entirely sure why I got a cell phone, but I have it now. It’s most redeeming virtue is that because I’m a student, I’m often moving around and this lets me keep the same number wherever I’m staying at the time. But I also like it for being able to check when the next bus is coming.
The landline has a nice long distance plan though, so that’s the one I usually use if I’m calling outside the city.
I have worked in the cell phone industry for nearly ten years. I don’t have a cell phone, and don’t want one.
I am not unaware of the irony. 
In the early days of my employment with the company, they made me carry not one, but several cell phones (some were for testing purposes, but people called me on them anyway). They made me carry a pager, too, though I was never sure why. Later, I worked in tech support and was required to carry a phone and answer absurd questions on it in the wee hours of the morning.
I don’t recall ever having any desire to have a cell phone of my own–I don’t even like landline phones–but even if I had, my work experiences would have burned it out of me.
I had a work cell, but they turned it off. All I have is a land line. That may be changing for Mr. K in a couple weeks.
I thought I was the last person in the Western Hemisphere without a cellphone. It’s damn near true, apparently. I don’t want one, either, though my boyfriend is pushing me to get one just in case I get in an accident. I wouldn’t call him, though, because he never answers his fucking phone. What is the point of having a cellphone if you don’t ever know where it is?
My wife and I have a cellphone, but it stays in the glove compartment – we use it every three or four weeks just for convenience’s sake (to call friends to whose house we’re going to be late, mostly), so we know when the battery’s about dead. It’s at least seven years old (it still has a thin and floppy retractable antenna). I’d tell you what brand it is, but I honestly have no idea.
I probably spend an average of 10 or 12 minutes a day on the landline phone at work and at home, and I’d rather be doing pretty much anything than being on the phone for those minutes.
Cell phone, ditched my landline in 2000 and never looked back. Why should people call my HOUSE when they want to talk to ME? I spend many, many hours a week not in my house, so paying for a phone that only serves a building and not a person makes zero sense to me. Besides, Qwest wanted to charge me more to call ten miles away to Beaverton than my cell phone provider would charge me to call anywhere in the US. Land lines are a doggle…
I’m not a phone person so I’ve never owned a cell. It would be nice to have one for emergencies but otherwise, one wouldn’t be of any use to me.
No cell phone. I get like 1 call a week if that (I mostly use e-mail)
