Family households, especially ones with kids who aren't old enough to have a cellphone but need to use a phone. If you have a five and seven year-old in your house, a $30/month landline might make more sense than two cellphones that would never leave the house anyway.

Really? At $10 per extra phone (on my parent's plan) having a land line is more. Free caller id, voice mail, plus the ability to call between phones for free make having a land line a little silly.

Plus the cost of the cellphone and all the replacements for the cellphone your kid is bound to use.
I'm single and only have a cell, but my friends with kids inform me that landline for a family is the way to go. I see the logic in their argument.
