Why have a land line at all? Who cares? Have a cell phone and be done with it. Even the burglar alarms can be set up to work on a cell phone the burglar alarm company provides. Around here, the only thing a land line is good for is to get annoying calls from different charities and the Republican National Committee, all begging for money. Just pull the plug.

We have two cell phones, and they cost $100 each for a years service, so we have the peace of mind when one of us is out and about or when traveling. For under $17 a month, we have all the minute we will use per year, and get a roll over of unused minutes at the end of the year. For $3.75 per month we get unlimited calling both local and long distance for our
VOIP land line. Works like a charm. No unwanted calls on the VOIP phone as it is in no directory. We often talk to one of our kids for an hour or more, and the call is free. And there are lots of features the phone company charges for that are Free with VOIP.
For 2 cell phones, a home land line, and a fast internet connection for a few cents under $45 a month, which replaced two cell phones, a land line (long distance was extra), and Internet for $186 a month total replacing he same type service saves us $141 per month or $1,692 per year savings. It is not that we could not afford the higher costs, we can but I am cheap and hate to throw money into the trash is how I feel about what it used to be like.
