we thought your fate was sealed

I posted about this earlier under flock (mostly because I am still wary of posting publicly about work in any kind of detail), and I am kind of already worn out with thinking and talking about it, but I got laid off today. My last day at work is 12/15. (thanks again to everyone who's already been so supportive. I really, truly appreciate it, more ( Read more... )

I've lived with nothing but a cell phone for five years now and the only problems I've ever encountered are just because my apartment complex is a black hole of reception. I'd recommend it as long as you're not the sort to leave your cell phone somewhere weird!

I tend to be pretty good about carrying it with me and keeping it charged. I get pretty good reception most places, so I'm not real worried about that, either.

I'm sorry to hear about your job :(

I have not once regretted letting go of my landline. I just didn't use it. If you want it for emergencies though, the phone company will probably cut you a deal that gives you 911 access and a few free calls for, like, $10 or something. I didn't find that I needed a landline for job hunting purposes. A cell was actually much more convenient since prospective employers could get in touch with me any time.

Thanks. And yeah, I don't use the landline almost at all.

Oh, man, I'm so sorry to hear about your job!! That blows :(

I was job hunting when I went from having a landline to just a cell, and it always worked out fine. If I wasn't somewhere quiet when an unknown number came in, I'd let it go to voicemail and call right back when I did get somewhere quiet. It saved me a bunch of money and it was never a problem

Thanks. And yeah, I think the cell-only thing is the way to go, because I never use the landline, and this way I'll be more reachable if I'm out.

I'm so sorry to hear about your job. *hugs*

Strangely enough, I just posted the exact same question about giving up our land line. I will be stalking your comments to see what people say about it.

Consensus seems to be it's a good idea.

And thanks. *hugs*
