I'm 22, for a few more months, and the only reason I got a landline when I moved out is because my cable company offered it to me for ~$4 a month (in total I think it made our bill $10 less a month due to combo savings) and it helped resolve the issue that our buzzer uses the phone network and we couldn't decide who (between me and my wife) should have the buzzer calling their cell. It also enables me to use a long distance calling card for free, so I can make calls that would cost far in excess of $4 to call my family in the UK. We do have many friends who are solely cellular homes. It's cheaper for them to pay for low minutes on a smartphone plan than it is to get a land line.
