We got rid of our land line about 6 months ago. When I finally decided to get a cell, didn't want to pay the $24 a month for an extra line. Both my wife's, and my cell, have our old land line numbers. When she got her first cell phone, we had the old house number ported to her cell, and we had another line for our 'puter, as the cable company hadn't installed high speed internet, so we kept a land line for the 'puter. Which naturally had a regular phone number. So when I decided to get a cell, I had that number ported over. Even thou I'm on the do not call list, when I get a call from a telemarketer, the phone lights up-RESTRICTED- so I just let it ring. I just let it ring. Nice way to avoid unwanted calls. gypsyman
