Re: Why would I pay $45?

show me your Verizon bill for $17 and I'll believe you. You're flat rate plan is probably $17, but then you need to add your line cost on top of that, plus taxes/fees.

It's probably more like $50 after taxes.

Re: Why would I pay $45?

A no-frills POTS line from Verizon costs at least a few dollars less than $17 (total)--varies some with locality. If I remember correctly (always questionable), POTS is 911 and everything else is E911 (VoIP and cell), though a recently enacted law (?) will require the telcos to open up 911 centers directly to non-telcos. My point being that if someone feels safe only with 911, then it could be worth it for the "peace of mind" to pay the little extra for true 911 you used to only get with POTS (and I don't know the schedule required by that law as far as providing access to the 911 centers--could be awhile knowing the telcos). But all of this has little to do with using a phone to make calls for the sake of conversation.

$17 gets us a measured rate line with a $3 usage credit, taxes included.
