It is simply a transfer of service, you keep your number.

Land line for me although I have a cell in pocket. Reason, when the tornados hit and the towers went down, no one was able to reach each other for a considerable amount of time. Sure there could be a dollar savings, but I still say, if something is not broke.....don't fix it.
As for cells always working, no. I was visiting relatives last summer where there were considerable hills and valleys and no cell coverage. Then during 911, I was in the mountains and unable to reach family by cell because again, no coverage. My landlines will remain my best friend.

I've had cell only for about 11 years. Hated the landline company and when the line went bad, just disconnected and didn't look back. I get my internet through wireless broadband and only had trouble once with lengthy no service because some thief stole the wiring from the tower! When I was looking at internet service I could choose landline & dial-up (DSL not available) or wireless broadband. Even though the broadband is $52 a month that is cheaper than basic phone & DU, and much, much faster. My cell phone is usually on the charger most nights because where I work, coverage is faint and spotty and that eats the battery. (Building's fault, not location) I also keep a car charger in the car just in case.
