About three years ago, I ditched our land line in favor of two cell phones because most of our calls are long-distance, and I was using my cell for most calls anyway. I still think it was a good move, but Google Voice may change the way I use the phone again.
Google Voice lets you choose a number ( I chose 321-2 and then my first name...) and you can call anywhere in the US or Canada for free... but if you use your mobile phone, you still use your minutes.
GV also has a ton of fun and useful features, like call forwarding, call recording, call preview... pretty much everything you have ever wished you could do with a phone.
Sometime in the future, you will be able to port your number to Google Voice... which means free-free calls from a landline with no hassles about giving out your new number.
When and if that happens, it will tempting to ditch the cell phone...
Here's a widget (over there on the right). You can click on it to call me for free, even if you don't have google voice. This might be useful if you are my mother. You just click the widget, tell it your number- then GV will call you and connect you to me. For free, I promise.
