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.

Kept the landline, because Mom needs a phone.

But bear in mind that weather, etc can also take out your cell phone. The derecho took out mine for a couple days (longer than the power was out).

I know. I'm less worried about the cells being out of power - I've got backup batteries, car chargers, and am looking into a windup USB charger - but I know that anything that takes out the towers takes out the cell networks. That's already happened in hurricanes and after 9/11.
