Households Moving Away from Landlines


The Shift to Mobile Phones


Recent data from the National Health Interview Survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reveals a significant trend: nearly 30% of households are now relying solely on mobile phones or rarely using their landlines.

Increasing Mobile Reliance


The latest figures, released on Wednesday, demonstrate a growing preference for mobile phones over traditional wired telephones. In the latter half of last year, 16% of households used only mobile phones, while 13% had both but predominantly used their mobiles for calls. This represents a 2% increase in wireless-only homes from the first half of the year. In contrast, back in early 2004, a mere 5% of households were exclusively using mobile phones.

The Decline of Landlines


The decrease in landline usage is a trend we've seen before, and these new numbers reinforce the shift. Personally, I've been advocating for our family to cut the landline, and I anticipate this change happening within the next 12 to 18 months.

Additional Insights


The survey also highlighted interesting demographics and preferences:

- Income Levels: Low-income individuals are more likely to rely solely on mobile phones compared to their more affluent counterparts.
- Living Situations: Those with only mobile phones often live with roomates or are renters, and are more likely to be Hispanic or Black.
- Age Factor: Around one-third of people under 30 have only mobile phones.
- Education and Income: Households with both phone types, but who mainly use their mobiles, tend to have higher education levels and incomes.
- Landline-Less: Approximately 2% of households reported having no phone at all.

The survey, conducted by the CDC, included personal interviews in 13,083 households from July to December of last year.
