Based on my life, a cell phone as my only telephone just won't cut it. The two main reasons are cost and flexibility. In order to obtain a plan that would have enough minutes, er hours, to suit my families telephone needs, I would have to dish out an enormous sum of money, definitely > $12.50/mth for VOiP. I require the flexibility of having multiple phones, in different areas of the house, (ex: basement, garage, workshop etc.). Also, as mentioned above, purchasing movies and changing programming on my Express Vu requires a landline. To me, it would be a pain to have to ensure the battery on a cell phone is ALWAYS charged. Being away on business a lot, and requiring my cell phone, would leave my family phoneless. However, I could get multiple cell phones on the same plan, but again, costs would get out of hand pretty quick. Finally, the geek factor of VOiP is reason enough to get it. It's fun to play with QOS, receiving voicemails via email etc.
