Need Inexpensive Internet & Phone Service
I am about to have a baby anyday now. We are trying to cut our costs down so that I can stay home. We currently have At&t Broadband and home phone service costing aprox. $80.00 a month with no extras. (We primarily use our cell phones.) Does anyone know of cheap internet through a cell phone or inexpensive internet & land line phone service. $80.00 seems so high.

Don't go with VOIP (Internet phone service.) The service was not acceptable, they charge a disconnect fee if you want out, and make you pay an inflated fee for the router unless you return it in its original box with all original paperwork inside!

Hope this helps.

My family has T-Mobile for our cell service. I just recently canceled my AT&T land line and have T-Mobile as my home number, too. (T-Mobile was able to retain my home phone number because we've had it for 22 years.) My T-Mobile home number is considered a hot spot, so I don't use plan minutes when I use my phone at home. It's $9.99 per month...

I was in the same situation about 6 months ago and I called at&t and was able to reduce the cost of my home phone (they have options as low as $5 a month that they don't really tell you about) and my bill is now about $60 a month. It's not much of a difference, but it's definitely better.
