I dumped my landline two years ago and I haven't looked back. I have a nice Sprint phone and I pay $50/mo for service including free calling after 7:00 pm on weekdays and all weekend (7:00 pm Friday to 7:00 am Monday). In addition, I get 500 minutes per month on weekdays. People think my phone sounds fine. I don't have voicemail at home to check and people know how to find me. I have never gone over on minutes. They probably have an even better deal by now. My only reason for a landline would be for use with my DirecTiVo, but that actually works without phone after installation (I guess I miss software updates and pay-per-view). For installation, I ran a 50' phone cord to my neighbor's house! That did it.
