When looking to reduce our expenses, the one thing that really bugged me was our phone bill. With Verizon, we were paying (on average) $48.72 per month for simple phone service! I’d been using Vonage for my business lines, and after switching from DSL to cable, have had no problems what-so-ever. So I decided to move our home line to Vonage as well.

We started with the unlimited plan ($24.99 per month), as I didn’t know what our usage would be. But after 3 months, I was easily able to switch down to the lower plan as were were using approximately 300 minutes per month (on average only using 58% of the lower limits). Changing plans cost me $11, but I’ll recoup that after a couple months at the new rate. For 500 minutes, the cost is only $14.99 per month (turns out to be $20.62 after taxes & fees, and fees for paying taxes and taxes on the fees).

So I’m saving $28.10 per month, or $337.20 per year on my phone bill! The switch was very easy, especially since all of our phones run off of 1 base unit. The hardest part of the switch was getting our 3 DVRs plugged in properly.
