The two reasons that I don't drop my land line are:

1) Having a phone available for the babysitter in case of emergency.

2) DSL (rate hikes drove us away from Mediacom a while back).

Although, it'd be cheap enough to add a 3rd cell phone to our family
plan to take care of #1.

My kids are too young yet to be making a lot of phone calls.  My wife
and I haven't decided when the kids will be old enough for their own
cell phone.
