Tell me about your landline phone service...

We have cable internet with our phone bundled into that. One of the reasons we did this was the cost of the line rental. We pay $79 a month with 7gig of internet, local & national calls & calls to carrier.
We had to sign on for 24 months and then got everything free. We were able to change our plan down, we started at $99 month, after 3 months. We are now over the 24 month period and get the new deals without having to resign.

Friends have their phone through their internet which they really like.
It depends on how much you will use the phone to offset the cost of a stand alone line.

I have just got a Bundle - Foxtel, Internet, & home phone + Thub from telstra ... My Cable gets installed this Friday :-)

I wouldn't know what the cost of just having a phone would be = because i've always had bundles...

We have a landline simply so we can have an internet connection...we weren't interested in having one to make calls, so I shopped around for the cheapest deal I could find. We have the most basic Telstra option which is $21.95 a month. Optus has one a little cheaper but doesn't service our area.

Thanks everyone

Olive - how does VOIP work... sorry if it is a simple question but I am not up with phone over internet

[~Trish~]

We have VOIP too, we don't pay any more than $10 a month . If you look up Mynetfone, their site will educate you on how it works - that's who we use
