Keep in mind, on both the $5 and $10 plans, you still have all of the "extra" landline fees. Taxes, surcharges, USF, FCC Line fee, etc.
Yep, $5 plan just became $30 a month. Prepaid is still cheaper.
Maybe not quite $30, but definitely low $20's after all is said and done. Keep in mind that you arent even getting a dialtone with that price!
Not sure where you live but all the extra taxes and fees would be under $10 a month extra. People like my mother( 62 years old ) who insist on keeping a landline, even though they never use it, this is a way of saving some money. can't quite convince her that since she uses a cell anyways she's just pissing $500 a year away on that POTS line. She's always making the excuse of "just in case" that's a hell of a fee for "just in case" in my book.

$500 is not that big of price tag for "just in case". Look at what you pay for other "just in case" expenditures, ie: insurance, meds, etc... Not defending it, just putting it in perspective.

Except that insurance actually pays for stuff if something happens. Considering she's always bitching about her bills, I'd say that cutting $500 would go a long way towards her not bitching about bills anymore.
