We live in a time when there are many choices we can make to enjoy the many new gadgets that make our life easier, but the expense can quickly get out of hand. One good example of this is the home phone and the cell phone. Both will keep us in touch with our world; one can meet our needs at home and on the go; the other, just at home. However even with the limits, many have found good reasons to hang on to their home phone.

One good example of this is the home phone and the cell phone. Both will keep us in touch with our world; one can meet our needs at home and on the go; the other, just at home. However even with the limits, many have found good reasons to hang on to their home phone.

Anyone who has a cell phone is already familiar with the frustrations of no service available areas. Certain buildings we now know will block a cell phone signal and if your house is guilty of being a signal blocker, you can see the importance of a land line and why a cell phone is great but does have its limits. Making yourself accessible to everyone all the time can sometimes be interrupted and annoying as well as being constantly distracted by calls, answered or unanswered.

Anyone that uses their phone a lot will suffer from a dead battery on a regular basis. When it is the only phone that you have, it will get used more and therefore end up needing to be charged more often. There is nothing quite as annoying as having a dead cell phone and being unable to make a needed call. If there are others in the home with a cell phone that is charged then that is always an option, but who wants to depend on that?

Cell phones when used a lot can and do get expensive. The usual plans will cover a certain amount of usage and if your usage extends beyond that the overage fees kick in. This a good way to sidetrack a monthly budget. The real problems happen if there is more than one user of the cell phone plan. Cell phone companies have done an excellent job marketing multiple phones to families with multiple members and make a very inconveniencing debate why your family needs more than one cell phone; even the kids have become targets.

Phone services are now offering some pretty cheap options that work rather well. One of these offered phone options is call VOIP and uses a internet connection. All long distance calls are charge free and there will never be a need to worry about a dead battery, no service available cell messages or signal interruption of any kind as well as not having to depend on someone else's cell phone to make your calls on.

As with any important choice you make, this one is no different and you will need to do your research before you make your final decision. If you discontinue your home phone, you will obviously have one less monthly expense. Many times this will mean an increase in your cell bill and you really are not saving anything. Carefully look into the VOIP option for your home phone, it might just be your best choice yet.
