I like my cell because I can use it at home and then when I leave, I can take it with me both to use if I need it and to not miss a call when I am away from home.
I carry the phone with me 24/7 as well because I live alone and dont have one of those "I've fallen and I cant get up" monitors or buttons - if something happens to me, I want to make sure my phone is with me so I can call for help - assuming I am conscious. Even when I shower, I keep my cell phone within arms reach of the tub - just in case. 
That need became abundantly clear 4 years ago or so when I was in my backyard moving something and stepped into a gopher hole, twisting my ankle so badly, I thought I broke it and I had to crawl back into the house ..... of course, I didnt call 911 because I didnt consider a broken or sprained ankle to be an emergency, but driving myself to the VA was probably one of the dumbest things I have ever done because I almost passed out from the pain and shock - so I called a friend on my cell phone and had her keep me talking until I pulled up to the VA. lol
Sorry, I digress - so for convenience, for money (2 phones vs. 1), and for safety, I prefer my cell phone that can go everywhere I go.
