My bill (this is just phone - no long distance calls, DSL, or nothing) is about $45 a month.

I am planning to switch to Cox Cable's bundle plan (digital phone, cable, and internet for $89).

It's only $89 there?

We pay $10 more for the same thing.

Yes, I just got a Motorola V300 phone and a great plan (600 minutes, free nights & weekends for $40/mo.)

Though I am paying about the same costs with SBC/Ameritech, their service sucks to the Nth degree. I even reported them to PUCO (Public Utilities Commission of Ohio) for false billing a few years ago.

Anyway, now that I got my cell phone, I am dropping my landline. Besides, my phone got more bells and whistles than what I ever expected and I might get my money's worth w/this phone.

BTW friends, SBC stands for Some Bull Chit. *LOL*

I think I pay around $30/month, plus long distance. I discovered recently (the hard way) that my long distance carrier charges a minimum of $5/mo even if you don't make any calls.

I'd love to ditch my landline, but cell phone service where I live ranges from pathetic to nonexistent, plus I need a fax line.

I'm looking into Voice over IP.

Free... my fiance's company pays for it

i pay $42

it includes local and local plus (50 mile radius) all local calls
100 minutes long distance a month
plus caller id, call waiting and all that good stuff

When I had it... my land line was around $18/month. But I only used the line to access dial-up and simple local calls, no perks. All other calls, LD or not were made on my cell phone.

And I was on SBC.

My package is 59.95 for unlimited long distance and bells and whistles (ie speed dial,three-way,call forwarding etc). The only thing I use is caller id and voice mail

But by the time they include all the taxes, the total is about 89. I'm with Verizon

i just paid my home phone bill today....$46.03 from BellSouth

which is a ripoff because I get no long distance.....just call waiting, free *69, and caller ID

plus our internet goes through Time Warner Cable and that bill (which is cable and internet) is $100 a month

I was thinking today how I could be saving about $50 a month if I got rid of my home phone......I never really use it

I have a great plan with Sprint and I never go over my minutes.

Those that have switched to internet phone how is it different (besides price). I have never heard of that before....but then again I live in North Carolina where everything takes about 10 years longer to get to us

SBC $64.31 if I make no calls that are zone, long distance, etc. That's just the line, call waiting, caller ID, voice mail, etc and up to 400 locals a month. RIP OFF. I keep getting stuff from Talk America and I'm seriously considering switching but have been trying to find people who use it to see if they're happy with it. I think I can get all the same stuff with them for $29.99
