This is not true for a cell phone--they have GPS built in for 911 to find you. As long as you don't make another call after you dial 911, they can find you. My phone prompts me to not call anyone else after 911 is dialed (I've only had to dial it once, but it worked!)DH and I have been without a land line for 5 or 6 years now--we love it. However, we're undecided if we'll just get a third phone or get a land line when DS gets older. We're both teachers and don't want to be listed anyway, so this works out well--we don't want people to find us!jenniferp417 said:You have 911 with a cell phone. The only thing is, if you can't talk, they can't find you.
This is my thoughts exactly!! We have the internet phone and it's a real deal!mommyhugz1978 said:We have both a land line and a cell phone.... I don't' want certain people to have my home number... and I don't' want certain people to have my cell phone number either.
You can turn the GPS off on most phones. I have it turned off on mine because I don't want Big Brother tracking me. The only time I'd call 911 is for someone else, when I'd be able to stay on the line anyway.PamperedinAvon said:This is not true for a cell phone--they have GPS built in for 911 to find you.

My "come home routine" is drop the purse and run to the bathroom. I always have to go so bad! Then I check voice mail and e-mail. I try to remember to plug in the phone, but the computer is always calling, right after the bathroom.jenniferp417 said:Jae, my parents have cell phones and don't have car chargers. What they do is make charging the phones part of their "coming home from work" routine - walk in, sit down the purse, plug in the phone. Their phones are always plugged in unless they're using them. Might shorten the battery life but this way the phones are charged and they know where they are. Might be worth a shot for you.

There are several benefits to making the switch, including cost savings, convenience, and portability. With cell service, you only pay for one phone line instead of separate bills for a landline and a cell phone. Additionally, your cell phone can be taken with you wherever you go, eliminating the need for multiple phone numbers and missed calls.
Yes, with cell service you can make and receive calls just like you would with a landline. Most cell phone plans also include features such as voicemail, call waiting, and caller ID.
If you are in an area with poor cell service or lose signal, you can still use your cell phone by connecting to Wi-Fi and using apps such as Skype or FaceTime to make calls. Some cell phone carriers also offer Wi-Fi calling as a feature.
Yes, you can usually keep your current phone number when switching to cell service. Most cell phone carriers offer number porting, which allows you to transfer your existing phone number to your new cell phone.
In most cases, you will not need to purchase any additional equipment to switch to cell service. However, if you want to use a traditional landline phone with your cell service, you may need to purchase an adapter or converter. Otherwise, your cell phone and charger are all you need.
