We have to keep the land line because of our security system, but I wouldn't have one if not for that. We always use our cell phones. The only calls we get are political and sales calls, neither of which we answer. We have our phone system set to go directly to voice mail on the first ring. If somebody needs to talk to us, they can leave a message and we will call them back. I don't need to talk to sales people or political pollsters.
