	Landline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A landline or main line is a telephone line which travels through a solid medium, either metal wire or optical fibre.
		Landlines usually cost less than cellular lines and are used when there is no need for mobility or cellular service is unavailable.
		The term landline is also used to describe a connection between two points that consists of a dedicated physical cable, as opposed to an always-available private link that is actually implemented as a circuit in a wider switched system (usually the public telephone network).

	SureWest Number Portability: Landline to Wireless
		For porting from landline service to wireless, you will be able to place and receive calls from your landline service until the porting process is complete, but with most wireless transactions, this is only a matter of hours.
		When switching from a landline to a wireless phone, your 911 calls will be traced accurately to your landline until the process is complete.
		Also, keep in mind that a landline is the connection point for several additional services you may have in your home or business such as multiple phone extensions, Internet access, Centrex, Auto Attendant, ISDN, satellite or dish TV systems, alarm monitoring and emergency response systems, among others.

	The Landline-to-Wireless Shift is Finally Under Way at Many SMBs - TechUpdate - ZDNet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Although consumers have been substituting their wireless phones for landline phones for several years, we have not seen the same displacement in SMB markets until recently.
		As Exhibit 1 shows, between 2002 and 2003, the percentage of landline displacement nearly tripled, with more than a quarter of SMB respondents in the Very Small (2 to 19 employees) segment now seeing notable decreases in long-distance bills.
		Landline long-distance and wireless is only one of many services in telecommunications today.

		However, among those consumers still using a landline as their primary phone, 26.4% would consider replacing it with a wireless phone, demonstrating a significant potential for wireline displacement over the next five years.
		Consumers using a wireless phone as their primary phone are most likely to be young (ages 18 to 24), single, residing in an urban area, subscribers to Sprint and T-Mobile, and mobile data users.
		Factors that would prevent consumers from replacing their landline with a wireless phone include lack of reliability and cost of service.

	Should I Drop My Landline? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		If your landline is used by a number of people then going completely cellular might not be the best idea since others will either need to get their own cellular line or borrow your cell phone to make calls.
		If you are just using your landline for phone calls then switching to a cellular residential line seems to make sense, but if that landline is used for something else then going completely cellular might not be in your favour.
		I should note here than some people use a third-party long distance provider for their cellular phone, but unlike landlines you need to dial an access number to use their long distance services and although rates are less than using the cellular provider's long distance service, it is never cheaper than landline long distance.

		These new gadgets allow users to dock their cellphones in a cradle that re-routes incoming cellular calls so they ring on a landline telephone -- and, in one case, allows you to make an outgoing cellular call from a standard landline extension phone.
		Instead, Cingular charges you a fee of $2.99 per month in addition to your monthly fee, unless your landline carrier is SBC or Bell South and you have a bundled bill, in which case the forwarding is free.
