Cell-Phone Only Homes Hits a New Mark

As reported in this month's Christian Computing magazine:

The number of homes that ONLY have cell-phones is now higher than the number of homes that ONLY have land line phones. Most homes have both. However, many people have decided they no longer needed both a cell-phone and a land line phone, and have discontinued their land-line phone. The number of homes with a land line has decreased since 2000, while the number of people obtaining a cell phone has increased sharply. And, due to great pricing plans, many have felt that keeping a land line phone, even for local calls, is just not worth the cost. For more information, visit www.nytimes.com

We did this for over a year while we lived in Northfield and it would have worked great if Sprint had better coverage! Then when we moved to Pine City we discovered Sprint still didn't work where we lived. So we changed to T-Mobile. Guess what. We live in a cell-phone dead zone area - neither Sprint nor T-Mobile work at our house. Maybe when we move someday we'll head back to cell only, but for now we're stuck with a land line.
