Good for you. For phone you could probably get a cell with T Mobile (German owned - I avoid any American company that is liberal). T Mobile has a $10 home phone a month if you have Interent. Alternatively, see if you can find $19.95 or $14.95 Internet and use Magic Jack which I think is $19 a year.
Unless people enmasse cancel Tv then the libs have control and we are serfs.
We use Skype Internet phone for $3 a month. Our whole extended family uses it. We have a Verison cell phone for emergencies in the car that charges us **only** when we use which is **NEVER**!
We have DSL but absolutely no phone service.
It gives me pleasure every month knowing that I am no longer paying the outrageous taxes on phone service.
We haven't had TV for many years. We canceled cable when our kids were little. They are now in their mid-twenties.
Thanks... this needs to become a clearing house for how we can fight back with our pocket books.
