Why I Still Have A Landline Phone…

Why I Still Have A Landline Phone…… and plan to keep it!!!

Cutting the Cord,  Male Edition

I have a $7  Tracfone plan and a nifty little ZTE touch screen model phone that serves MY needs. I don’t know off hand how many minutes a month it comes with because, honestly, I doubt that I use more than 10 minutes a month with it. I cannot see paying $30, $40, $50 or more for any service that I don’t get equal value from. This saves me at least $20 a month from a cell phone plan or contract that I don’t need and was a significant price difference on the equipment compared to all of the latest and greatest phones on the market… a few hundred dollars perhaps?

If I am out and about, I will bring my Kindle or laptop with me. Both devices allow me to text friends to their cell phones through my email account.

When I clipped our cable TV about 5 or so years ago, we also got rid of the home phone, a $30 a month zap to the budget that was also very rarely used. I’m a computer geek! You can find me online and/or with email. With the service that I have (Ooma, about $150), I pay only the taxes each month of around $4, saving me $25 a month over the former cable bundle cost. I have free calling, voice mail on my home phone and everything that I personally want or need.

Saving over $100 a month on the cable TV, $25 on the home plan and $25+ on the cell service exceeds $150 a month of budget boosting power that does not cut back or cut out any of my communication needs.

With a 2 year price lock for internet only service I am paying $40 a month… period! ((formerly paying $60 a month until I negotiated with the service provider))

If you have any questions, call me. Or better yet, send me email!
