I'll try to make a short story. I had the land line phone, and I got the wife a cell phone. The bill each month was roughly up to $150.00/cell phone-land line. I went to Verizon, I now have a cell phone now. INFACT, I have the family plan - the program-free texting, unlimitied minutes, and so on. It's only costing me $85.00--$95.00 a month. drop YOUR LAND LINE PHONE SERVICE
