Subject: I too have been struggling with keep or get rid of the land line. So far keeping is winning out, for alot of the reasons mentioned so far. I do have it down to the minimum, just a basic service will caller ID.

[> we have a very basic dish network package - I pay 10 dollars and get very little - just enough to keep us entertained - every month someone has a free channel so we'll watch something different. My hubby gets netflix and my son is always watching movies on his laptop with it. so if you don't really watch the 9,000 channels - yeah you can save a lot by downsizing cable. As for the landline. NOPE - same as araninda - when stores have to look me up- landline. inside -- chris k, 05:11:06 06/06/11 Mon [1]

now - if you don't really use your landline you can cut back on services - just the basic phone should be around 20 dollars without call waiting caller id etc.

I pay $10 for the welcome package with dish (save $5 by using my antenna for network tv but my mom pays $15 for network on the dish channels)

I pay $20 through AT&T for dsl

I think I pay $30 for my phone because I have call waiting and caller ID and Call waiting ID. I like to see who's calling and if I don't recognize the name or number- I don't answer.

I have a cheap cordless phone that has an off switch. If the phone rings and I don't recognize the number - I hit off and it stops ringing. THe other person doesn't know it - but I don't have to listen. : )

[> [> also by using my antenna for local channels I get more than my mother - there are some digital channels that have older tv - I love watching those old shows and those channels aren't on the dish options. -- chris k, 05:15:03 06/06/11 Mon [1]
