Huh, maybe that's why Qwest is now charging me a $1 to pay my phone bill. Although I kinda find it hard to believe landlines aren't profitable when they're gouging me for $50 every month for mine.

$50/month?! That's insane. My AT&T land line is $16.55 plus "taxes and fees" that take it to $26.50.

If they do away with land lines it's going to take away alot of revenue to everyone who has piled on the phone company's bill. I'm sure they'll figure out how to pile on cell phones to make up the difference.

I think VOIP is pretty cheap for companies to run.

How does a landline help you if you lose power?

How would you solve the house alarm issue? Most alarm companies don't support voice over IP when your system calls the monitoring station.

I can still make a call if I lose power, but can't with voice over IP.

The landline continues to function. Most VOIP solutions require a power source within the house.
