My sis calls from Alaska on her iphone and the reception is clearer than when my dd calls from 15 miles away. Sister's phone is new though.
I only have a landline
I only have a cell phone
I have both

The landline is set up to the security system. If we remove it, then the alarm starts beeping continuously.
Both dh and I have cell phones and call each other for free, but we also have a private AND a business landline. I call most landline numbers in our country for free. The cost is NOK 150 per month for both numbers. (approx 18 dollars)
On second thought: Of course it isn't for free when we pay NOK 150 a month but no matter how much or little we call it's that price.

I have both - the landline is part of a package deal (along with internet and cable TV). The cellphone is an old, small, flip-style phone that fits easily into my pocket. I prefer the landline because the voice quality is better.
I like the landline too.
Interesting, so no one here has only a landline? Kinda thought there would be a couple of holdouts.
I think it's pretty clear that a cell phone can be invaluable in certain emergency situations (car breakdowns, medical conditions that require immediate attention, etc.) With the elimination of public payphones, a person kind of needs one if he's not staying home most of the time. And with the pay-as-you-go plans that are available, it's not expensive to have one.
I noticed last week the nearest pay phone to my house is gone. We just have the prepaid flip phones, it's the right thing for us.
What's a landline?

Can't remember the last time I saw an actual Pay Phone.
