We dropped our landline two years ago and went solely with cell phones. Our son and the wife’s sister and her husband have also gone that route. I’ve never looked back. I’m saving about $100/month. Happy guy...
I dropped the landline in Dec. It was $25/ month just to sit there. Any long distance call added $5 to the bill by the time they added all their extra fees.
I found a pay-as-you-go cellular for $100/year with 600 minutes of usage (I don’t make that many calls). I also found MagicJack, which allows me to make long distance calls. It only costs $20 per year. The combo of MagicJack and cellular give me more options and cost 2/3 less than the phone company’s $300/year landline.
