re: Who still owns/uses a home phone?

We have one but have been seriously thinking about getting rid of it. Only problem is our 13 y.o. stays home by herself sometimes so I don't want to leave her with no way to call if there's a problem. (I'm one of those mean moms who hasn't given her middle schooler a cell phone yet. ) It would probably be a lot cheaper to just get another cell, not give it to her except in emergencies, and cancel the landline.
