We have DSL - but they claim it would work without the phone. I'm sorta doubting that. Even if it would, we have T-mobile - probably the only cell phone service that won't work at our home.
Maybe that is why we are so poor - paying all these phone bills!!!

Fir, I did the same thing. We still have the "phone line" for our internet but we don't have phone service. It cut our bill back over $60 a month. Of course, we use AT&T for our DSL and we don't have their cell phone service. It is worth it...
Fir, AT&T offers DSL without a landline now...I had ours cut off last month and now only have DSL. The Cell phones is not At&t. They gave us what they called a standalone line account number for the DSL.

I'm in the same situation and this makes me angry! I hate paying $45 for a phone that is rarely used. We use cell phones for out long distance calls and rarely use the telephone at all. But have to have it for the DSL Internet and satellite service.
I live in Lexington and we have not had a home phone for almost a year. We have dsl and satellite and both work fine.quote:Originally posted by jjuliesmiles:
I would love to drop my AT&T home phone service if I could find a cell phone with great nationwide minute plans and would work out here in the sticks.
I live in a "holler" between Greenhill and Lexington. Some call it Centerhill - I call it "way out here in the country!!"
