First, if you have high speed internet do yourself a favor and get a Ooma for your home phones. After the cost of the Ooma all you pay is the taxes. I get my home phone service for under 4 dollars a month.
Second, if you want cell phone service sign up at Republic Wireless where you get unlimited phone, text, and data for $19.95/month after you buy one of their phones for $99.00. The way they do it is to use wifi for most things where wifi exists and that brings down the costs.
As I get other things I will pass them on. If you have other hints add to the list!
I have Republic Wireless too. I had only one problem. I had terrible interference when using WiFi on calls to my parents who live next door. I don't know if it was because of how close we were or what. All other calls, texts, internet activity works great. So, I got a wireless intercom system to communicate with the folks, and it's all good. It sounds like an expensive solution but not when you think of what regular cell service costs. $20 a month is phenomenal!! I have not heard of Ooma, so thanks for that tip!
ReplyDeleteI should explain that turning off wifi for calls to and from mom and dad and then turning it back on was too much, and keeping wifi off whenever I was home while my home wifi was available was also too much, so that is why I went with the intercom.
