Cellphone? Landline? Or both? If you said you only had a wireless phone, you'd be among the growing number of people in the country who don't have a landline phone to reach out and touch someone.

According to USA Today , the Centers for Disease Control did a study that found more than half of American homes either only had a cellphone or used a cellphone almost exclusively -- even if they had a landline phone.

Also, men are more likely than women to live in wireless-only homes.
