More and more people are leaving their landline telephones behind and using their cell phones as their primary source of phone and Internet service. This can be a big step. There are some basic things to consider when thinking about leaving your landline telephone service behind. Not all cell phones and providers are the same.

Cell phone vs. Landline

Landline
Landline service may be more costly than cell phone service
Landline service may offer a little more stability of service than cell phone
Consider the coverage of service by cell phone carriers in more rural environments
Most landline telephone companies offer Internet services but they are not totally wireless. They still
require a hard line into your house to link into a wireless router

Cell Phone
Cell phone service may be cheaper than landline service depending on the service you determine you
need
Remember that cell phone calls do drop and landline calls don’t
Depending on where you live cell phone coverage may be an issue. In some rural environments you may
not have cell phone towers close by
In addition to cell phone service most cell phone providers offer mobile Internet services. So you can
access the internet on your computer via your cell phone service.
Depending on the phone you choose you can access the Internet on your cell phone
One thing to remember is that not all cell phone carriers offer the same service so comparative shopping
is the key

Leaving your landline telephone behind is a big step. One of the biggest reasons for the switch can be cost. It seems that landline telephones are more costly than cell phone and if you choose to use their Internet service it’s an additional cost with more equipment.
