Re: Anyone Ditch Their landline?

	Everywhere I frequent the emergency number is the same 911.

Your point has some validity, but I think cellphones offer benefits in
this area that landlines do not.

For instance, your landline only exists at your residence.

On my cellphone I have the emergency number entered in my phonebook for
every municipality/jurisdiction that I frequent (e.g.--adjoining towns,
state police, etc.). As I enter all of these under names beginning with
911, it's a simple matter to scroll down to the required contact. In
this way, I have the 911 convenience that you speak of in the home,
except I have it _everywhere_. In your case, you could program the 911
of your home into a speed dial slot.
