| Verizon don't understand
Verizon still don't get it, most people don't want there landline anymore. People wised up and don't want to pay for redundant services. The only reason why I still keep my basic landline for $8.88 a month is because I need it for my DSL. Other than that I would dump it. As the other poster said about fees, once you add up all the fees and taxes, that $28 savings will be no more. |

Just getting a dial tone where I live is close to $15 and that's without the taxes. Maybe it has gone down, 'cause that was several years ago, but I doubt it. |

If one has cable or FiOS, one has the option to forgo a landline and get VoIP plans with every imaginable feature, unlimited local and long distance calling for $25, about $30 with taxes and fees. Or one could get a stripped down, limited VoIP plan in the $10 to $15 neighborhood.
Any way Verizon packages it, landlines are overpriced for what you get, and they are just bandaging a dying service. |

The $8.88 is the most basic service you can have. I have no long distance or toll service. I can make calls but it's only real local.
Just like the other poster said, just about every call here is a toll call. In just my area alone there is 2 area codes. I can't count how many prefixes there are, to many. |
