We are thinking about doing this.
Wondering what the pros/cons are? Please share.
I've been on only cell phone for over 8 years, no land line!
I notice only a few easily adjusted to problems:
1. Putting the cell down somewhere and "loosing" it.
2. Forgetting to charge it on a timely schedule.
3. Forgetting to pick it up and put in my purse when I leave the house.
4. Not easy to "look up" someone's cell number.
5. And the occasionally irritating 2-year-contract issue.
My pros are:
1. MY choice for which server I want to use, which style of phone. (Many areas have only one landline server, such as Verizon or AT&T.)
2. Always available for calls if I want to be.
3. Some cell phones, plans allow internet searches, email checks, etc., anywhere/anytime with your cell.
4. Not easy for people I don't care about to find my number or call me.
5. I can use my cell as an alarm, calculator, calendar, text messager, and other things. And I have only a basic cell style!
6. As mentioned above, I can use my cell for 911 anywhere and the call is directed to the local 911 service of the area I'm in.
I love having only a cell!
