We dropped the land line this weekend. Here is what I found out:
1) we used phone co for home internet- the cheapest option they offered was $42 for land line and home internet.
I told them we only wanted home internet (no landline) and that option was not available.
2) cell phone plans can be as cheap as $25/mo for minimal minutes.
3) Our old bills were $100 for home phone and internet (inc call waiting, VM, high speed internet) and $125 for cell phone (lots of minutes, early evenings and similar).
New bills will be $25 for my cell with minimal minutes (I only call wife) on a contract which expires in June (this contract is 18 months old).
Wife is getting a new cell plan with new phone co which is $55/mo and she gets free calls to anyone in that network (including the person she calls the most already), better reception at our house and 1000 anytime minutes/month.
Works for me.
