get a magicjack internet phone 40-50 year, unlimited US calls, perhaps Canada too.
Unbundle! Everyday Low Price Internet is now a 3.0-3.5mb/sec
good for magicjack and youtube videos.
Ah, I have been thinking of Magic Jack if I can figure it out. I refuse to buy bundles when I don’t use the phone much and have a digital converter box for free TV. I just moved and do not want to go back to Verizon Landline phone service. When I had it, I used Netzero for my internet DSL ....not too expensive, but you need to have a landline. Without that, you have to revert to a cable internet connection (TWC in my area) or Freestanding (or Dry Loop) DSL. Earthlink offers freestanding DSL.
My concern w/Time Warner Cable is that I heard complaints of prices going way up, even if you just use them for internet connection. I need to watch my pennies.
I also noticed that you can get Straight Talk home phone service which looks like it’s wireless service....I need to investigate if a wireless home phone service would work with the wireless version of Netzero. I’m not tech saavy enough to understand some of this stuff.
My cell phone is AT&T Gophone, which is pay as you go. It served me just fine while I was condo-hunting and had no perm. place to live.
