Do you have a landline telephone?

Millions of Canadians will have only cellphone service by the end of the year as they increasingly replace their landline telephones with cheaper wireless, suggests a new study.

About one in seven households -- or two million homes in total -- will rely solely on cellphone service by the end of 2011, the Convergence Consulting Group said Tuesday.

Such trends are common in Europe, the U.S. and other parts of the world, where many younger consumers choose only wireless service.

By the end of 2014, the Convergence Group estimates that 26 per cent of Canadian homes will have only mobile phone service.

In 2009, just 8.9 per cent of Canadians had ditched their landlines and cut the cord at home for cellphones, the Convergence study says.
