Re: Well...

It wasn't a big deal when I spoke about it.

I'm dropping the landline because I believe it's overpriced for the services provided. By the way everyone else speaks it just makes me not want it more if they can get basic landline service for $20 a month for unlimited local calling.

You can get it too, you just haven't asked. You probably have a landline with all of the absurd features and haven't bothered to try and drop them.

I have AT&T too, so don't tell me they don't offer basic POTS.

I have talked to AT&T about it and everytime I have tried they always tell me $30. I'm talking after taxes and everything too, I don't know if you all are talking about before taxes. My uncle had POTS Limited before he passed away and his bill was $20 after taxes but he could only use the phone so much per month and had unlimited 911 calling.

AT&T Measured Service is, at most, $11.85/month+tax in your zip code. Even with Al Gore tax, it won't break $20/month total. But you have to be diligent and pursue it - they aren't going to offer it up to you - after all, someone has to pay for Ed Whitacre's pension.

I'm not sure why anyone would want or need "unlimited 911 calling". If you really need to call 911 more than a couple times in a given month, you probably should move to safer neighborhood, or to a nursing home.
