I do - only because it is included with my DSL internet - the only option out here in the sticks. Incoming calls are free. Outgoing calls are .10 per minute. I rarely use it. I have sketchy cell service and live in the boonies - 30 miles from town.
If I lose my smartphone, the dog eats it, or I drop it in the toilet (all have happened) I just call my oldest, tell him I'm OK and to pass the word that " the old man in the woods" will be without a cell phone until I can get to town.
I also have a flip-phone Tracfone I carry when I travel. I pay $99 for 400x 3(1,200) minutes and a year of service. The minutes roll over. Last I checked, I've got over 3,000 minutes of service built up. That thing works where my smartphone will not. I carry it as a redundancy since I have my contacts in that phone as well.
