A Harris survey asked, in part, what the most important reason was that people give for not using a wireless phone exclusively. The responses were: (1) Like the safety of traditional phone, (2) Need line for Internet access, (3) Pricing not attractive enough, (4) Weak or unreliable cell signal at home, (5) Coverage not good enough, and (6) Other. The file titled Wireless contains the responses for the 1,088 respondents.
