This definitely used to be the case. Its much less so now.

And remember, you're also paying for the phone via an invisible lease.

Myself, I lost my mobe cycling across london about 12 months ago, and
now I only use my company Blackberry... :-)

>i no longer have a land-line at home, only a cell

Thats unfeasible in many parts of the UK. Only five miles from the
major city I now live in, the only mobes that work are Orange, and
that only outdoors and intermittently.
