We only have cell phones BECAUSE of 911

Our land line kept getting lonely and calling 911 on it's own.

Nothing is more embarrassing than being awakened at 3 am by a police officer insisting that you called 911 when you know darned well you didn't AND then he wouldn't go away for frear that I was being threatened or something.

My land line would give people the who tried to call the busy signal for days or weeks it was bad.

As for an iphone... No way I just use the basic phone as an outgoing instrument nothing fancy is needed for me.
