I never have a problem with food delivery. A phone number is a phone number to them.

The new house I moved in to didn't have a land line and my wife basically freaked out. We both have cell phones, however, so I didn't see the logic in paying an extra 40 bucks a month for something that will just ring when we are trying to eat dinner. The last time I had a landline I hardly got any calls that weren't some bulls**t fireman's association asking me for money.

And I've been landline free for about four years now.

In the event of a power outage, get drunk on a patioYou really can't do much else anyway.

I love VoIP, but I will still keep my cell phone in case of a roadside emergency. Whenever possible I use Skype since it's free (at least for now). The only problem I have is that half the time the tones don't activate automated menu options.. so I just click the numbers like a madman until an operator jumps in to direct my call :/

Speaking of telemarketers.... I've always assumed they do not call my cell phone because I have to pay for incoming calls - unlike a land line - but in the future as more cellular plans go to free incoming you may see telemarketers going after these phones. This is why I am suspicious of free incoming plans...

@mongo420 A lot of apartments you have to buzz people in just to get into the building. so if you order a pizza and don't have the call box linked to your phone. You have to wait by the door, hence the inconvience. You were mocking him/ner, when you were the ignorant one. sweet sweet irony.
