Land line and Cell
The landline for the ADSL and to answer incomming calls, the cell for ignoring or runing out of batteries :P

Well, I don't call that often, and like the benefits of a mobile... My internet is through my office (I go there ), so I currently deal without land-line (didn't need to give one up either). Basically, the subscription for having a landline + calls is about covered when considering the slightly added use of my cellphone.
Might opt for broadband, but that doens't require a landline (if you go through cable in stead of DSL).

I have both, as my cable land-line is only $11/mo. with unlimited local calls ('local' is debatable, of course). Trix and I each have a mobile phone -- $30/mo. each for a crappy 250/250 (free LD), but Sprint does throw in an hour of free land-line long distance also.
I take my mobile with me everywhere, just conviently "didn't hear it" if it ever comes in question. Plus, my phone is the only form of timepiece that I carry, and I need to know how late I am going to be before I get there.
Buckaroo, the President's on line 1, calling about is everything okay with the alien space bomb and Planet Ten, or should we just go ahead and destroy Russia?
Tell him yes on one and no on two.
Which was yes? The destroy Russia, or the, uh, number two?
