And, now I have to research the best plan... not looking forward to it. Must do by end of month. sigh
My landline bill seems to go up even faster than inflation. The cost of a landline may seem ridiculous to some and there are few others such as myself that consider the cost of cell phones and service ridiculous. I'm keeping my landline but have my in expensive Tracfone for times away from home when it's needed. It seems like you can pay big money for one or the other, but both doesn't make sense. I think a lot of people would find that a Tracfone type service covers most of a persons basic needs. I use an iPad or laptop at home which seems far more convenient than looking at or typing on a small cell phone and other than the maps feature on cell phones I don't use much data on my phone. But I suspect I'm in the minority when it comes to cell phone use.
