No landline

I'm trying to cut all my bills down as much as possible as I really want to get rid of the landline & set up another direct debit with virgin, which should mean I will half my bill as paid £20 for broadband & £16 + calls for the remainder. When I moved into the house I wasn't too fussed as I've got my mobile & use that all of the time, it was the person I brought the house with was adamant that we need one for setting up the accounts due to needing a landline listed on forms.

I was just wondering what other people's views are in this day & age can we do away with my landline, the only time I use the landline is if I can't find my mobile & need to call my mobile to locate it.

I canceled my BT landline as I have a cheap PAYG mobile phone and use mobile broadband and prefer to use email anyway. Paying line rental for something that I almost never used was a waste of money. I think that more and more people will do the same if mobile bb gets a bit faster.

You can always use voip over your cable broadband connection and get rid of the landline. You can get a traditional geographic number on voip too.

And that's going to save you another 50p/month when Alistair Darling's new 'super-fast (well, up to 2 meg) broadband for everyone by 2020' tax starts.
