If you have a landline with a rather big provider, that gets little outgoing use may be forking out mid $40 a month ?
Did you know that one big provider has what they call something like Home Line Budget where the actual rental for the landline is about $23 a month - generally for older people who don't use the phone much. Never seen it actually promoted. Call costs go up when you use this plan - a local call is 30c instead of 17c ? From memory, you also had to nominate whether you wanted capped calls in the daytime 7 to 7 period, or at night 7 to 7. Plan changes a little from ordinary landline rental so look into it if you intend changing.
Not a bad saving if landline just sits there as a handy thing to have in a house or as incomng line mostly. I've put a few people onto it in recent years and well, think we are all better off. be even better off when it gets its final switch off. Learnt not to use it
