Something sparked my curiosity today, about the accessibility to communications in today's world, in particular phones. How many different phone numbers do you have today for people to get in contact to you?

Discuss!

Nobody calls me for personal reasons, except family randomly and friends from time to time. I have a landline, but no mobile phone (at least with voice service )

i have like 3 active mobile numbers and 1 landlane

One landline, one mobile. However before, it was 2 landline as I would go from my father's house to my mother's house.

i think the usual really landline and a mobile. on my computer [i moved some of my contacts-not enough space =p] ive got at last count 431 numbers. i would imagine a few of these are dead now but it'll cost money to find out!

2 landlines and 2 mobiles... tho i only use one mobile frequently...

I canceled my last landline years ago (back in the analog modem days I had two).  I can't see why anyone would waste money on a landline for personal use today, unless they a)are forced to get one with DSL (phone service is not required to have DSL for any technical reason, but many companies insist on it); b)use phone so much they can't find an affordable mobile plan; or c)have household members without their own mobile phones. 

Otherwise, a phone that can stay with you wherever you go obviously makes more sense -- and is all you need.

Most families tend to have landline numbers, just for the convenience of being able to contact anybody in the household at any given moment. Also, landline phones tend to be more reliable than mobile phones.

In Canada its alot harder than in the US or GB to get unlimited or extremely high usage cell phone plans for cheap. Especially when you have 4+ people in the house, and don't wanna wait until after 6 to spend hours on the phone.

Mobile only. We do have a landline but people in the pub were abusing it, so my Dad stopped outgoing calls.

I've more than one landline.. four. I only have one mobile.. I guess I'll vote in the last one

Landline for the house and mobile for myself, although if I move out, I'm probably only going to get a mobile.

I got a landline for the house (which i don't use much)  And I got a mobile for me.

I got two landlines, and 2 mobiles. Which I use one the most. I call alot, texting too, but I call alot since there's actually some cheap providers in Norway atm.

Landline + Skype International.

One PSTN line. An incoming VoIP DID number supporting unlimited simultaneous calls. My mobile.














Aka too many.

I have 0.

3 landlines; 2 cell phones, and 4 SIM cards....

One landline and one mobile, I very rarely use the landline even though I have one in my room.

DSL, being in my opinion superior to cable (at least here in Vancouver), is worth the hassle of the required landline that Telus imposes on the general populace. 
I'm lucky enough to be on an old FIDO plan that gives me unlimited incoming calls and unlimited outgoing local calls.  No-one here DOES this anymore for a reasonable price. 
I also have an incoming Florida number via Skype for my PC.

Odd as it sounds, when I 411 myself online, my cellphone comes up as an "unidentified land line", and my Skype number comes up as a cellphone number.  Mosssst interesting.

Anyway, nice to meet you all.
I've been looking for an excuse to post.

I've got bout 4 landlines in my house, an ive got my mobile. i use the mobile for texting because ive got an O2 genie with 300 texts e.t.c and i use the landline for calls because its cheaper and my parents pay for it anyway

We only have a landline in the house for our internet connection. But my dad has recently seen some articles on using mobiles for high speed internet access.

Has anyone managed to achieve some decent speeds with a mobile as a form of internet connection before?

I have a land line and my mobile, but perhaps that the land line will be replaced soon by a Fiber connection.

I had 5 mobiles on different networks but it went down to 1 mobile and a landline... hi all...

1 landline and 1 mobile phone that I only use to call my mom after school.

Cellphone service isn't all too cheap in Canada.

I have 1 mobile phone and access to our house landline

landline
cell=work
cell=personal use

but I will never understand why cell users in the states have to pay for minutes..
so basically the person calling them pays and the person rceiving the call pays with minutes..
so its double dipping
where as in australia..we dont have to pay for minutes..only the person calling you pays.
But then again australians have to pay for local calls..on landlines..and Americans don't.

the reason I also have a landline is that its cheaper to make calls via landline then cell..
