What kind did your friends get, and do they like it? I've heard really mixed reviews, and I know for some of them the initial cost is really expensive. The pluses you get with you i-phone (like all the apps) are very tempting, but, same thing, set-up cost is a lot! I'm sure we'll figure out something in our next place, and it's so nice to hear more about the options, so thanks!Jennifer Rickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16893901588875111664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386936670414405452.post-19173001023982915982013-02-11T22:08:39.482-07:002013-02-11T22:08:39.482-07:00Yes!

They are landlines, but only cost a few dollars a month after you buy the special phone (our friends just bought one for $50). I think it also runs through wifi. We've found the wifi call quality is good with certain apps and not so good with others. And we use FaceTime now to talk to family more often. It's working so well. And practically free!

Maybe it's because we didn't have a good phone or because we didn't have an Apple and Apple apps or because of the basement. Luckily, we were able to return the phone, so we were only out like $5 for return shipping for the experiment. I'm really glad to hear that you are making it work. Living off wifi only phone is my dream! Hopefully we can do it wherever we live next. We save money with a landline, but it's still $30 down the drain every month--yuck!Jennifer Rickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16893901588875111664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386936670414405452.post-47218708306777564512013-02-09T17:17:29.589-07:002013-02-09T17:17:29.589-07:00Your blatant attempt worked!

I'm feeling behind the times without a smartphone (my current phone is 6 or 7 years old, to toot my own cheap-lovin' horn), but I can't get past the monthly cost for a data plan. I've looked into going prepaid but I haven't found a rate as good as the one you mentioned. Sounds awesome.

I don't have a smart phone but on my nice dumb phone I spend less than $5/month on units. I love pre-paid service. I'm glad you found a system that works for you.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339936940500165901noreply@blogger.com
