I have a landline. The economics of it are such that I'd be stupid not to.
Magpie and I both carry cell phones as well. We have basic plans that allow us to call when we need to, while keeping costs down.
If I got rid of my landline, I'd have to increase the functionality of my cell phone to compensate. I need a good long distance rate, because my entire family is long distance. I'd also need more minutes. The net cost of my landline is $12/month, and there's absolutely no way that we could get the necessary features on even one of our cell phones for that amount, let alone both of them.
We're considering getting rid of one of the cell phones when the contract expires, and using one between the two of us.
Honestly, I'd get rid of the cell first if I were going to choose. I do prefer to have both; each one serves a different purpose.
