Landlines are so... old

According to this HarrisInteractive survey from April 2005, "one in 10 (9%) U.S. adults said that they had abandoned their wireline (landline) telephone service completely in favor of using their wireless phone exclusively. At that time, another five percent said that they were seriously considering this and would switch within a year and forty-seven percent said that they were somewhat considering it." I don't have a land line, but I have Voice-over-IP. I don't really use it though, I mainly give out the number to companies I do business with and use it as a spam trap for telemarketing calls. In fact, if I could get just voicemail service at that number, that would serve my needs nicely. I generally don't use the phone much at all, preferring to contact companies by email and friends by instant message. Hear that AT&T?
