When I dropped my home phone service, I did so without realizing that my house alarm, TiVo, and satellite service regularly made "calls" on the land line. Our DSL also requires land line service. I guess I'm just saying: make sure you're not forgetting about any "background" items or services using the land line. If you don't have any of that, then I'd assume you'd have no worries!
Some of my friends' intercom/gate entry systems also call their home phones to alert people to guests' presence outside, and then you have to hit a numeric key to open the gates. That can easily be switched to a cell phone number, though.
