I think the landline is on its way out of U.S. households, for good. Wrote about that here, http://bit.ly/ndvmp.

I'm seeing that same trend, Patrick. In my opinion, the landline is slowly but surely becoming obsolete. The only real necessary use I can see for it is in a business environment. Cell phones can provide emergency personnel with something that landlines can't – your location.

Cell phones can also make emergency calls (to 911) even if you don't have a service contract with a provider. So they're good things to keep around anyway, even if you have a landline. Just in case.

It's a very real trend I see among my friends and family. Only two out of the 30+ people that I can think of right now have landlines. The rest, like myself, have only the cell. I used to be concerned about the reliability of my cell because the reception was really not that great even in my home. About a year and a half ago I changed to the NET10 prepaid service and my reception is now a lot better. During this time I made 2 emergency calls (for other people) and both times had no problem. So I decided to let go of the landline which was not being used anyway. The only calls I ever received on it were from telemarketers.
