When the call rate on the mobile is less than the call rate on the landline which can be the case particularly with contract phones at certain times and to certain destinations.
For a very brief call which can cost less than say the same call on a NTL landline which has a connection charge plus a time related charge.
Haven't you seen the Vodaphone "stop the clock" adverts where you pay for 3 minutes and get up to an hour on the call for no extra charge?

I guess, but given that most calls are short I have always struggled to see how mobile's are cheaper, how much is a mobile contract usually a month, my sister spends £30+ on hers a month and its contract. My own mobile phone which is PAYG I can make £5 credit last 2 months but its is 90% incoming calls or emergencies when out that is the purpose I use the phone for, I use the landline for outgoing simply because its cheaper.
