After an employee discount and with taxes, I pay $67 / month for the 450 Anytime / 5000 Nights & Weekend minutes plan. The Anytime minutes roll over and are saved for up to 12 months (after which they DO expire). I'm considering jailbreaking my iPhone so that I could tether it to my MBP and, when WiFi is unavailable (but a cellphone signal is available) be able to use some of my saved minutes. I doubt I've ever used 100 minutes in a month. Right now, I have several thousand saved minutes and, lose minutes every month when they "die off" once they reach their 12 month shelf life.
I'm a latecomer to using a cellphone; less than four years now. It amazes me how people accept the poor voice quality that so many cellphones provide. Friends tell me that in the very near future everything will be wireless. Between the dicey voice quality and poor battery life, I really don't see land lines (good old fashioned copper wires aka: POTS) dying off anytime in the foreseeable future. At least I hope it doesn't. :turbo:
