Well it all depends, if your calling 911 you have to be specific on were you are because they can't track your cell phone like they can on a house phone. A cell phone is good to have if your not home and your out and about doing things. if you ever got hurt and sick it is good to have a cell phone on you so you could get ahold of a parent or a friend.
EDIT: Cell phones CAN be tracked ! The system knows where you are while your mobile is switched on - because it communicates with the handset. The mobile network needs to know where the phone is - in order to route calls to it ! Every mobile phone can be traced to a roughly 3 metre square location - by means of triangulation from the three nearest network masts.
