I would not have a land line if I didn’t have DSL. I got it before I got my cell and there are a variety of issues with switching over to cable right now. When I get them taken care of, I will probably not have a landline. It costs me $37 a month for local service and Caller ID. :mad: I am not sure why I am still paying an Interstate access surcharge, since I can not call any other states. :dubious:
