Even though it might be seen as convenient route to have your home ('land line') in a pocket and 'cut the wire', I would advise against it.
Reason is your land line is assigned to land line operator; you can check it at CNA - CO Code status using your area code and first 3 digits of a phone number.
Your mobile (PM) number is assigned to Mobile operator.
With growing number of authentication services requiring you to provide mobile number (to send you a code, to register you, etc.) your transferred 'land line' number to your cell phone will be rejected and you will not be able to complete above task.
Been there, done that.
If you want to get rid of land line, get your mobile number, advise all parties of number change and then 'cut the wire'.
I respectfully disagree. I have no issues using my wireless home phone line which I have had for almost a decade. The only shortcoming is fax service and who really needs it these days. I suspect the inadmissibility for number transfer is a glitch on the Public Mobile end. Hopefully the moderators can find a solution.
BTW, wireless home phone service is arguably more reliable than the wired phone these. The old home phone infrastructure is pretty much abandoned and replaced with VOIP. Although my internet availability is very high, the wireless network availability is even higher.
