B&R: Can You Make It w/o Home Phone?

BandR: So who’d you go with instead of Time Warner, Dave? My phone/cable/internet bill with them is running around $140/mo which I would dearly love to lower. I’m thinking of dropping the land line completely since the kids and I all have cell phones. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

DFO: I got a deal with Direct TV for $24.95 per month for a year for 150 channels ($54.95 for the second 12 month with a buyout clause. However, current Time-Warner package costs $62 for 70-plus channels). I bundled my Verizon/Internet service to add high-speed Internet and unlimited long distance for $50 per month. But I’m considering dropping a home land line, too — for greater cost savings. My total TW/Cable/Verizon bill had been $121.

Question: Can those who use only cell phones and no land lines tell us whether it’s worth it?
