Default Re: 3 frugal things I did to save $2000

Vonage is less than $30 a month for all local and long-distance calls including fees and taxes. I'm not sure I see how that works out to a $5 difference versus $52?
Well, the Verizon Freedom Package was quoted to me at $34.99/month but then you get all kinds of excise taxes that were enacted to fund WWI and stuff and it comes to around $52. My DSL is $17/month.

I must admit I didn't really check that heavily into Vonage because I heard of some service problems. But it seemed to me it was priced $5 lower but you still couldn't escape the excise taxes and such.

So I figured it would be $47/month all said and done.
