>>>Here in Norway nobody (and I do mean nobody) has a landline anymore. Actually, the landline system was been closed down earlier this year. IOW, everybody, including companies and authorities, use cell phones.

>>>Bigger companies with dedicated telephone receptionists typically use computers which are connected to a cell phone or a special GSM unit. No outside wires.

>>>However, the "outside world" don't see these changes, since most companies continue to use the same old numbers.

>>>>I need to decide if I renew the landlines (both lines cost about $400 per year). I definitely decided to drop the 2nd line, since it is never used. And I am thinking of dropping the 1st landline and simply use my cell phone as the number for the business. Especially since a lot of time I am not in the office and customer leave voice mail. At least when they call the cell phone number, I will be there.
