Great idea. We dropped our land line service back in the year 2000 and have never looked back. As cell service has gotten better in quality and cost, there is no reason to have a land line. We have lived all over the US since 2000, east, west, midwest, south and have not ever had any problem. When the power goes out in our area, the PNW now which is often, the cell service still works just fine. And for long distance in the US, we use Google Talk that is 100% free and we rarely have issues. If the power is out and for some crazy reason we need to call long distance and our cell service is not working or our batteries are dead, we fire up the small generator we have out on the patio (Yamaha portable generator we bought on Amazon and is worth every penny) to plug in the internet/recharge cell phone and then use google talk that works just fine and it's free. Honestly we have never missed or even thought about a landline since the year 2000 - that's fifteen years of savings. I say go for it...the sooner the better.
