I think in the beginning only Geeks would most likely try to find other ways to get phone calls via the Internet. The rest would use a cellphone because it's easy. I don't really know how Internet calls to POTS line works. For me,it just does. I can use Skype to make phone calls or TextFree or get a Google voice number right now.

Maybe, but it looks as tho they'll all cost an arm and a leg. The internet can't handle all telephone traffic, can it? There'd still have to be a hand-off to wire, no? Somehow, ATT and Verizon will stay in charge, plugged into your credit card.--david@luda.netpad4Once all cellphone owners get rid of their POTS phones, I think there will be quite a few more ways to get phone calls over the Internet than what's out there now.
\\ /\ Alice.( ). Sent from my iPhone 5Telephones are necessary nuisances - and big money drains. This is something Steve Jobs could have worked on - getting rid of separate phones - making telecom just another app. We're moving in that direction, but phoning is such a money maker that it looks as tho it'll be around for a very long time. Oh, well, if that's the worst bump in our life's road ....I don't have a POTS phone and was a Mac user, so bought the iPhone. If I didn't need a phone, I'd go Touch.
\\ /\ Alice.( ). Sent from my iPhone 5I have both. I love the Touch and tolerate the obscenely expensive Phone - which feels like a brick, compared to the Touch - because I need a cell phone.--david@luda.netpad4I was wondering why one would want to buy an iPod Touch if you own an iPhone. The iPhone and Touch do the same thing except the iPhone has a phone built in.
