Some people think it might be cheaper just to have a mobile than a home phone. It really depends on your lifestyle. Mobile phones are usually more expensive than home phones but if you're only using a mobile then save money and don't bother with a landline. I'm the opposite but then I'm a money saving expert! I tell people never to leave messages on my mobile but just to leave them on my home office landline, which is one tariff for all calls. Generally, you won't be trusted if you only have a mobile rather than a home phone when you apply for your children to attend schools or when you apply for loans, as this indicates that you're not really of fixed abode.
