I find myself wanting to get rid of my home phone but with these recent ice storms in Oklahoma, I am glad i still have my landline, because i couldn't charge my cell phone with all the power outages..I bet you some people will think twice about going strictly cellular
You can buy wind up chargers for cell phones and such. I personally like to keep a UPS available that I can use for small items. Even a small UPS, given the task of keeping a cell phone charged, could probably do it for weeks. I do see what you mean though, for most people it would be a problem, just mentioning that there are ways around it that people just need to be aware of. Go find a wind up charger and toss it in your survival kit.
Oh, and this poll fits me like a glove. I'm 23, renter, and I don't have a landline, only my mobile.
