My long distance bills were around $300 a month until I ditched AT&T and signed up with one of Verizon's Freedom packages and now I'm paying $55 a month and making unlimited long distance calls to any cell or landline in the U.S. and Canada.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19176876 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 12:57:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19172962 Dezbend : I think he meant flat rate plans that give unlimited local and long distance calling. I just got one, because my wife and I noticed that nearly 90% of our wireless calls originated in our home. We got unlimited local and long distance on our home phone for only $15 more than we had been paying (I already had a POTS line for my DSL). This $15 increase on our home phone is probably saving us $100 on our wireless bill.

screw the fcc getting top dollar for the spectrum, consumers need lower prices, not the top 6 cellular carriers getting more of a land grab which brings higher and higher wireless prices. at least 10 years after the copper wire went to UNLIMITED calling plans, the cellular industry is dragging its ass and dug-in to keep away from cheap unlimited calling plans!!!

And, if not that... how about prices below .05 per minute?
