Land line for business purposes, but have a few issues with going all cell. I have cell service and have for many years. There are issues with the cell service that we all overlook and I will list a few here.

Poor reception - many areas are really bad.
Lousey quality of sound reception - staitic and noise.
Lost phone = lost phone telephone # directory.
Phone is small and easily lost.
Battery issues. battery is usually good for a year or so and then it starts to short cycle and die when in use.
Battery costs as much as a new car battery.
Cell service sucks - they will try and sell you a new phone before fixing the existing one. If on insurance plan you have to wait while they send your phone out for inspection. No such thing as a loaner.
Cells do not function well when wet. ( ask tagger).
Cell service costs are skyrocketing along with the oil prices.

Just a few reasons I will keep my land line for awhile at the least.
