I just got my first cell phone the other day only to use when I'm away from the house as if I go shopping it 78 miles from home and if I broke down now I have a way to get a hold of someone. We keep our land line and that what I use and like someone said if you need 911 it tells them your home address. Plus I really hate talking on a phone I only use it if I really need too. My hubby has had a cell phone for year,but he's a talker.
