tiimde71 176 Report post Posted October 12, 2010 I am in the process of doing the same. I have free incoming calls and free after 6 and added unlimited ld for 15 bucks. I have not used my land line in a month. One more month and it comes out and saves me a bundle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted October 12, 2010 Still have a landline, but it's Vonage. $22.00 month, 100 minutes, anywhere in Canada, United States and Puerto Rico I'm not a big phone person, so for me really cheap, beats $70.00+ or more to that one phone company and sub-par customer service RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted October 13, 2010 Well, I used to not have a landline, and it was great... until work decided they *had* to have a number they could reach me at, and so I got a landline put in as they sure as hell weren't getting my cell number. So I now have a landline where work can call me and I never answer, so everyone's happy :) Of course, anyone who's self-employed wouldn't have that issue...

BarrhavenWoody 10776 Report post Posted October 13, 2010 I haven't had a land line for 2 years now. I don't miss it at all. When I'm out, there wouldn't be anyone home to answer it. And when I am home, I still have my cell phone in my pocket so no need for a land line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce 100 Report post Posted October 13, 2010 I have found that Primus Canada offers an interesting package for home users. For less than 70$, I get a fully-loaded land line (more than 10 options included), unlimited long distance Canada-USA anytime, any day, and unlimited high-speed internet (ADSL, not cable). Even without the options on the land line, my regular bills were much higher than that when paying separately for the same three services, but from different providers. In the end, I like having the liberty of giving my cell phone numbers to few people I trust, and the land line number can be used for general purpose. -- Bruce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyra.Graves 23779 Report post Posted October 13, 2010 Thinking of giving up , my home phone land line .Love to hear some feed back Do people still have those? ;-) I got rid of mine about 7 years ago and haven't looked back. I use my cell for most everyday calls but I do have a Softphone for when I'm travelling or making long distance calls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boomer 33202 Report post Posted October 13, 2010 I have maintained my landline, but have reduced the features to a bare minimum. I have several cell phone numbers, but maintainthe land line because it's in the directory and a number that I've kept for over twelve years. If changed I`d never get everone notified of the change.

Andee 220524 Report post Posted October 13, 2010 If you do a lot of calling out before 6 pm, I suggest a cell phone with a package that gives you free incoming and free evenings and weekends. That's what works for me. My roommate still has a landline but is thinking of giving. For long distance, you can get cheap plans or those prepaid cards. I'd say ditch it.
