Many families no longer use a landline.
Many wireless subscribers believe it is unnecessary and expensive to own both a cell phone and a landline. According to CTIA-The Wireless Association, there are more than 200 million people who subscribe to wireless telephone services in the United States. In 2009, the National Center for Health Statistics noted that one out of every four households in the United States no longer used phone landlines.
Instructions
1. Choose an alternate form of phone service like a cell phone. Even if you no longer want a landline, you can still have a telephone.
2. Give your new mobile number to your friends and family. Let them know you are canceling your landline service.
3. Replace your landline number with your new number on your bank, credit card, loan company and other important accounts. Also, give your new phone number to your doctor.
4. Inform your employer that you can no longer be reached on your landline. Make sure that your employer changes your number on all paperwork associated with your paychecks, 401k and health insurance, if applicable.
5. Call your telephone service provider and cancel your landline service. If you have cable television or Internet service through your landline provider, make sure the provider understands that you are only canceling your landline service, not your cable or Internet service.
