Save money every way you can.
Lots of people are dropping their home phone service and just relying on their cell phones.
Those folks with home security systems can’t do that, BUT, I’d venture a guess that they still have a cell phone.
Save money on your residential phone service by dropping all the extra ‘fluff’ that’s on their. If you primarily use your cell, well you don’t ‘need’ long distance on your home phone.
Got any other extras on there? Downgrade. You’ll save moula.
