We do have a home phone, but only for three purposes:

• We use it as the primary dialer for our alarm system (but the alarm has secondary dialers as well),
• We give it out when signing up for anything that requires a phone number (as if they might telemarket us later).
• My 6-year old knows how to dial 911 from it.

There is a phone attached to it (for the 911 purpose above only), but the ringer is on silent.

Effectively, we're cut from that cord, but it is there as a lifeline only.
