Cutting the (phone) cord.
Do you have a cell phone? Probably.
Does everyone in your family have a cell phone? Probably.
Do you still have a home phone line too? Why?
I finally got rid of my landline phone when I realized I would never answer it because I knew it was a telemarketer. I looked into VOIP alternatives to keep the homephone, but not pay the monthly bill. I read some good reviews on Ooma (affiliate link) and almost bought it, but instead I just canceled my service and put all the phones in the closet. And you know what? I don’t miss it. At all.
If you still have a homeline, ask yourself, “Do I need this? Do I use this?” PBS has a great article on some other VOIP alternatives, but think about it. You may not even need a home phone at all. Cancel the service and save yourself some money.
