We have two cellphones. We also have a land line phone at home. Our cellphone contract is not too bad. 2 phones 300 anytime minutes and 1500 off peak. We never use all of the minutes on anytime or peak. We just use the phones for short conversations while away from the house. We feel that cellphones are a convenience. And good to have for an on road emergency.
The costs are:
Cellphone - $45/mo If we add the answering service, it would go to about $52/mo
Home Phone - 35/mo
I am considering some options:
1) Dump the land line and keep the cell phones - Save about $35/mo
2) Dump the cellphones and try to find a good pre-paid plan
The problem I have found with most pre-paid plans is the cost is not much cheaper than a contract because the minutes expire.
Has anyone found a good pre-paid plan that is cost effective and the minutes do not expire quickly?
