long distance is free, I have a blackberry style samsung that is pay as you go, I can only ever afford to put text messages on it, no air time. My awesome caseworker salary.

I mainly use the land line for calls. I can call anywhere and it costs the same every month. I have a TracFone. I have forgotten to charge the thing for days on end. I'm not a person that needs to talk on the phone constantly.

Oh, us Luddites with landlines connected to our rotary phone are excluded from taking national polls, too.

I need new glasses.

...the landline is reserved for telemarketers, and the recording that reminds us of the weekly "Dry Cleaning to Your Door" pickup.

I have a standard telephone connected through my internet provider.

Used to have it through Comcast. Haven't been a Bell in ten years.

Now drill down how much you use it vs. cellphone, if applicable.

A bar or two indoors. Okay reception outside.

So, lengthy phone calls when the weather is bad are on the "land line."

and I have a cell phone, and my laptop also has a SIM card.

I drive an old car and need to be able to call for help if needed. Most of the time it stays off.

The last time I 'had' one was when I lived with my parents, and it was theirs not mine. I stopped using the thing as soon as I got a cell phone (2000).

ETA from the responses so far, I'm probably at least a generation younger (I'm 33).

My first job in 99 had me traveling so I relied on cell phone only from the start. If you call my house, I'm not always there. Call my cell and its with me.

Got rid of the landline about 15 years ago and use Tracfone now.

I don't have a cellphone, absolutely hate them. My husband has one but I never use it and I'm so stubborn I never even take it with me to town when I go alone. If I was going real far without him with me, I would take it for an emergency.

I do hate all the robo calls from repubs I get almost everyday!

Here in DC on September 11, 2001, cellphones for ordinary people were blocked from usage so that the important people in the government would have no problem communicating on theirs. In case of an extraordinary emergency, one should plan that this might happen. It wasn't until I got home late that evening I could call my daughter and other family members and tell them I was okay.

PS But I do use my cellphone quite a bit. And it does work in case of a power failure. So I will always have both.
