Is it necessary to have a "landline" phone in NYC? I currently use my cell phone for almost everything and i have tons of minutes - but is there any reason that it would be absolutely necessary to have an apt phone? Or is it pretty common these days to save money on that expense?

If anyone doesn't mind answering, about how much is it for high speed/dsl internet a month? What about cable tv? The cable TV i can really skip on if it is really expensive, but DSL is seriously a must for me!

Thanks! The New Yorkers are so helpful!!!
Get cable TV with a cable modem (about $90/month for both with Time Warner), and a cell phone. You may not get good reception with your cell phone in your apartment. If that happens, you can add Vonage to your internet service for $14.95/month plus the cost of a router to get a landline.
