Default Re: Who has done away with a home phone (Land line)

She then told me that if I kept the home phone active without and extras like caller ID, three way calling, call waiting and long distance
it would be $15.71 a month for local calls only and she could reduce my same high speed DSL internet to half ($15) of what I currently pay.

So bottom line is I keep the home phone and the same high speed internet for a total of $30.71 a month.
I still have 911 capability with a local land line and the same internet for what I was paying for just the internet previously.

Without caller ID ....well I guess I'll be hanging up the phone a lot more often instead of not answering it at all...LOL
I/m pretty sure that without a paid subscription landline service you can still call 911 through the landline
