For others however, the choice is not as clear and making a long term commitment can be uncomfortable and perhaps unwise. - The Cell Phone: Exceeding Our Expectations

Many consumers have had the experience of hearing a sales pitch and being sufficiently impressed to purchase the goods or services, only to find that the reality was somewhat less than anticipated. When the purchase involves a device or service that we tend to rely on daily, and which potentially binds us to that service for years to come, this can be a very bitter pill to swallow. With cell phone plans that typically span two years, buyers need to be sure that the service as well as the phone itself will meet their expectations. - Cell Phones: Tips For Choosing And Using Them For Better Pictures

Indeed, with a good cell phone plan, the phone itself is often completely cost free. - Cell Phones And Land Lines: Getting The Best Of Both Worlds
Your land line gives you excellent call quality.
