Do you still have a landline phone?

I've been reading a lot about how people are ditching their landline phones and just using their mobile. i've been thinking about getting rid of mine but wanted to ask around about it first. 

so how many of you still have a land line? the main reason i would keep mine is for faxing but i don't do that very much. any feedback would be great.

Thanks!

I finally dropped my landline with my last move. I use eFax as a fax service and so far that has worked out fine; receiving faxes as graphics files makes them easier to work with and I can still print them out for a hard copy. On the road, I can receive faxes via email regardless of where I happen to be, so I can always use the same fax number. I have a multi-function printer so I can scan signed or hand-notated documents as a supported graphics format and send things back out through eFax.

I do pay more for an unlimited data plan on my cell than I was paying for my Earthlink dial-up service, but it is far more portable than needing to find a phone jack when I travel.

Well, when I was using my home phone for faxing, it was pretty unreliable. (May well have been the fax program on my old desktop PC, though. Right now I don't have a functioning desktop PC - just two notebooks.) I've been thinking about it myself, given that about 99% of the calls I get on my landline phone are telemarketers, surveys, and the like. But I don't know if I'm ready yet to give up the landline phone for good.
