new scam

[Charlie B]

We have a land line but it is through Straight Talk and works off Verizon cell towers. It plugs into a phone jack and you can add as many as 4 phones in your original jacks. We get unlimited nationwide calls for $16.38 a month (including the tax)  and it does work with our answering machine and they also have a voice mail that kicks in when the phone is busy. The quality is every bit as good as our AT&T land line was but it is a separate service and I set it up on auto pay. I am sure it depends on how good your home cell service is and ours here is not real good so they do a good job. We just switched to US Choice for cell phones which also use Verizon towers. My plan is 16.75 for unlimited talk and text and I only signed on for 1 GB data because I don't use my phone for data that often and most places have wifi. I could up it to 5 gb and still be under 20 bucks. Their family plan actually would cost way more so we went with separate services and kept our old numbers.

It's nice to not deal directly with Verizon and all their little add-ons for the bill.
