I know a lot of people who have done away with their landline but it is not for us. I hate talking on a mobile and much prefer the landline and Mr H is hard of hearing so has real trouble with a mobile phone. I do know some younger people who say that they only keep their landline in order to speak to their mother!

We have taken a 2 year deal with SSE that gives us landline and broadband for £12 per month, with weekend calls included.
We only use it for weekend calls as it is expensive otherwise.
Then we moved both our mobiles to 3, just PAYG sims as we are not big mobile users either, It is still cheaper to use the mobile to call than the landline.
We use internet a lot when at home, so a mobile package for that would be no use to us.
We were always with BT before, but their prices became rediculous.

We are on the most basic landline deal packaged with our Virgin Media subscription. As we tend to have mobile contracts with 'free minutes', we make it a house rule to use our mobile for phone calls until the minutes run out. When that happens we use each others mobile. Only if all mobile minutes are exhausted to we use the landlines. We tandem to keep the landline just in case of emergency - if we can't get mobile signal then the landlines is a back-up.
