  Don't know about how things are where you live, but at least here
cellphones are *by far* the cheapest way to own a phone line. A landline
is nowadays a lot more expensive than a cheap cellphone connection.
Especially if you don't call a lot (like in my case) it can be *ridiculously*
cheap. (My last cellphone bill was something like 23 euros. And the bill was
for the last 6 months. I actually just changed to an even cheaper contract,
so the bills will lower even from that.)

  It can be very handy when your few friends can contact you anytime
anywhere.
