Cost of a land line ?

I'm contemplating getting rid of my cell phone.  Last time I looked into a land line it was kind of expensive.  Anyone have an idea of what it would cost for a basic local plan?

  • Our's costs $30. If I were you, I would keep the cell. You never know what could happen while you are out and about. I used to only have a cell.

  • We pay 19.99 a month for unlimited local and long distance through our cable provider
  • When we had a land line, had a pretty bare bones package and it was $40 a month. I've seen them as low as $20 or so, but you'll want to look into what is local vs. local toll vs. long distance.

  • $32. Without long distance.
  • I have AT&T.  It's $8.91 per month for a limited calling plan.  I get unlimited incoming calls and 30 outgoing calls per month.  It's 8 or 9 cents per call past 30.  I don't know how much long distance calls are though since I use my cell for those.   I don't have any features.  I mostly have it for DSL.  My DSL is an extra $20 (although I had a deal where I got 3 months free.)
  • I used to sell AT&T in Columbus.  I think a basic unlimited local plan was around $18, but this was a few years ago.  It was $26 for unlimited local plus call waiting.
  • If you are going to have the internet I would HIGHLY recommend SKYPE. We pay $30 a year for the number and like $3 dollars or less a month for the service. The only downside is that you can't call 911.

    If you keep a cell phone charged and ready you can use it for 911 whether you have a plan or not.
