What is your average telephone bill?

**homesteadmamma** · 12-05-2002, 08:38 PM

Mine is running around $100 per month. I've got to get it down much lower.

How about you?

uuummmmm
$0 since we do not have a phone

We average about $25 a month, we don't call long distance very often.

Ours is around $55 per month

Ours is around $60 per month. I would like to lower this to about $40 a month.

Mine is $7. a month, but the internet is 25. so total of 32. Not too bad.

140.00 a month, but all of my family is out of state and my best friend is out of the local area.......

Now that we don't have long distance the basic coverage is give or take $29. We bought an AT&T long distance card at Sam's so each minute is like three cents. I really like it this way. What I'm very upset about is that Verizon has a monopoly in our area. We like Southwestern Bell but so far they're not in our area. I hope someday they'll make they're way through here.

We used to pay about $21 or $22 for basic service. I miss that. Of course, we don't have call waiting or anything else. With Verizon we have to pay $1 for just having touch tone. Man! I wish I had a choice in phone companies.

Since getting the 2nd phone line it's about $85/month.before that it was around $55-$60. I don't have a long distance carrier.We have area calling and if we need to make long distance calls,we use the prepaid calling cards (from Sam's).

We have 2 phone lines and it averages around 85.00 each month. I wish it was cheaper, but my mom is long distance and I can talk to her for hours. DH's family is long distance too.

$18.xx a month

**dz_blonde_girl** · 12-06-2002, 07:04 AM

The bill for our 2 lines is $45.xx. My long distance bill varies anywhere from $4 to $18 depending on the calls I make. The town I work in is a local call, everywhere else on the planet is long distance. Why is local long distance more expensive than distant long distance?

I went to lowermybills.com and signed up for Accxx long distance. I have been very happy with their service, and no one can beat their rates.

Basic service is around $20 a month, long distance depends on how many calls we make. All of our family is long distance so we do make a few calls a month, usually around another $20.

Now that I'm working my Mom can call me at work as it's a 1-800 number

Our phone bill averages about $45 including long distance. I also have a cell phone at $40 and then I have onstar in the van and as soon as my contract with the cell phone is over, I'll get a cheaper plan, just so my boys have a phone when they are out. I worry about them too much. I'll use the onstar, you pay for the minutes you use. It's not too bad.
