I still have a regular landline from ATT that I will disconnect soon that costs $43 per month. If I were to keep it I would switch to a voip setup. Thanks to those that post their voip plans for regular phones. It will be interesting to find out how it works.

For my cellphone plan I have the “T-Mobile $30 plan” with 100 minutes + 5gb 4g data (unlimited 3g afterward) + bring your own phone. I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 for T-Mobile at Amazon for $385. Google plan name to locate.

Since I have so few minutes I ended up installing Skype. For quality it sounds like the person is in the same room. http://www.skype.com

It uses the data and since a phone call is 1 to 3mb per minute, you have a thousand+ minutes to use. It costs either $2.99 per month or $30 a year and change after a 15% discount for 1 year in advance. You pay so you can call anyone without using your minutes. 1gb is 1 thousand mb.

It is free otherwise for Skype to Skype calls.

“I still have a regular landline from ATT that I will disconnect soon that costs $43 per month.”

My ATT copper landline deal was $33/month. Once it got past $30 I started to look for an alternative

As I understand it, T-Mobile just dropped all of their overage charges, with people on plans like yours grandfathered in. Thus, your $30 per month now gets you unlimited voice calls too.
