Who has replaced their landline with a cell phone?

Who has replaced their landline with a cell phone? The rain has shorted my landline (again!) and I'm getting that much closer to just giving up on the service. I like the number... but then, I can port that to a cheap cell just to act as an answering machine.

I haven't done it, though I am very tempted to do so. The thing I always come back to is that I hate having all my communication eggs in one basket - if my cell service is brought down by a DDS attack, or my landline by a storm, I've still got a fallback service in place. I just can't convince myself to take the leap.

Signe: I went with AT&T's Consumer's Choice Basic. By the time you add federal access charge ($4.72) and all the fees and taxes, the $9.50 is really $17.43/month for me.

This is why I am never, ever going to bundle phone and internet in the same service. I don't care how golden the deal is; they stay separate!
