Re: Um....
said by wifi4milez  :said by patcat88 :said by Camelot One :Keep in mind, on both the $5 and $10 plans, you still have all of the "extra" landline fees. Taxes, surcharges, USF, FCC Line fee, etc. Yep, $5 plan just became $30 a month. Prepaid is still cheaper. Maybe not quite $30, but definitely low $20's after all is said and done. Keep in mind that you arent even getting a dialtone with that price! Not sure where you live but all the extra taxes and fees would be under $10 a month extra. People like my mother( 62 years old ) who insist on keeping a landline, even though they never use it, this is a way of saving some money. can't quite convince her that since she uses a cell anyways she's just pissing $500 a year away on that POTS line. She's always making the excuse of "just in case" that's a hell of a fee for "just in case" in my book. |

Not defending it, just putting it in perspective. Except that insurance actually pays for stuff if something happens. Considering she's always bitching about her bills, I'd say that cutting $500 would go a long way towards her not bitching about bills anymore. |
