I've gone the cell-phone-only route and haven't noticed any problems yet. I have a land-line for Internet access only...I plan on upgrading from dial-up to DSL or cable soon.

I've gone cell-phone-only for voice calls (see note below; I have TiVo) in the past, and it was great.

A note, though: DSL is phone line-based. You'll have to pay for phone service to have DSL. You'll also need a land line if you have satellite service, TiVo, or some digital cable setups. Find out before you disconnect, but if you go cable modem and only need the landline for some device, you can get prepaid phone service or basic phone service for cheap.

i'm doing it now because i've been moving so much. i actually really dig it. i get my calls where ever i am, have voicemail and caller id for free, and don't have to change numbers every time i relocate.

When I was living with my parents, I was cell only. I loved it...so much that I barely use my home phone now.

I've had friends who have tried it, but I couldn't do it myself. I secretly despise my cell phone...its number is a closely held secret, and will always remain so. The last thing I want is to have telemarketers bugging me when I'm not even home.

Like Lyn said, you still need a line ph0r DSL or digital cable. But if you get a cable modem you don't need a land line (unless your cable phr3aks and you need to use an emergency dial-up ;)

We basically use our home number for voicemail. We never answer it unless we notice the caller ID. Anyone we want to talk to usually has our mobile numbers.

I have gone the "cell phone only" route for a year now. Of course, I don't have any teenagers, or any other compelling reason to have a land line. I now have cable modem for the internet and I have never been happier.
