anyone without plain old telephone?

[nancielle]

Still have a landline. Cell coverage here is dicey. When using my cell phone at home, many times I have difficulty hearing the person I'm calling or they have difficulty hearing me. My downstairs neighbors use only a cell phone and I get to hear all of their conversations because they're constantly yelling into their phone to be heard.

Anyone notice that cell to cell long distance calls have worse reception than cell to landline? Or cell to cell in general is worse?

I use my cell for long distance calls, and when I call someone else long distance on their cell the reception can be dicey, and they're not driving through tunnels either. But if I call their landline, no problems.

One other thing - cell calls can be picked up (listened to) by nepharious persons with the right gear - like picking up radio signals. You can't do that with a landline (and law enforcement needs a warrant to tap the line). Be careful about giving personal information over a cell call.
