No land line

Vodafone are currently offering naked broadband for $65 a month.
We're currently paying $120 for broadband and our phone line.

However we hardly ever use our home phone number, we both have cell phones we usually text or email our friends.
The only people that ring our land line is our parents.

Do we need a land line?
Has anyone gone without one? How have you found it?

The only disadvantage is in an emergency, if the cell phones are out then you cant call anyone. It would be okay if you had good neighbours tho. You can easily get freedom for $10 per month between your cellphone and a land line (telecom users), that would mean your parents could still call you as much as they wanted.

we want o get rid of our's but we with telecom and as far as I know you have to have a landline with broadband plese correct me if I am wrong would love to get rid of ours and save money.

We will probably get rid of our land-line when our 12 mths with telecom are up. $199 if we break our contract so won't be stopping before then.

We do use our landline frequently though but half of it's use is to make mobile phone calls so thought since DF's cell is a work one, I will get myself on a decent contract before we do away with the landline - we probably won't end up saving money because of it though!

We never had a land line when we lived overseas and it wasn't a problem. We actually get quite a few calls on ours so I wouldn't cancel it but if you hardly ever use it it could be a good $ saving for you.

We're currently paying $120 for 30G broadband and home phone line with vodafone. Going without a home phone line would bring our bill down to $65.

$55 would be a big savings over 12 months. I don't make $55 worth of phone calls on my cellphone each month.

We've had no more problems with vodafone broadband than we did with Telecom.

Really? I'll get DH to look into it then.

we are on the ultimate pack http://www.vodafone.co.nz/broadband/?

Yeah that's the info I have amme.

If your in the redzone (which we are) you pay $90? I think for the ultimate pack which is what we are on homephone and broadband included but if you are out of the redzone then you pay an extra $10. Most of Auckland is, its not until you get into the broader Auckland, so out into the waitaks, puke, papakura etc that the redzone stops.

If you have extras such as voicemail caller id etc then that gets added on of course.

We'll still be dropping the landline when we move. No point in us having it never gets used. And we don't use more then 5gb a month so 10gb for us will be HEAPS

I thought you had to be in the red zone, doh lol...we are central AK so would of thought we would be but...no.

We have just been upgraded to wireless Broadband & have entered into a 2yr contract with Telecom. DH is really happy about that as he relies on the BB & quick speeds.
