Do you really want to deal with a legacy land line from the telco? I don't. Having to monitor "call units" or track what's "long distance" and what isn't... Very passee, PITA nonsense that doesn't even come into the equation with newer technology. Plus it's one less bill. I like the idea of paying one predictable, known amount. Done.

Also, there are a slew of taxes and charges on land line service - much less with mobile phones (they're far less regulated). Look at a land line phone bill sometime - there are a LOT of extra charges on there to the point of obfuscation.
