If you're with Verizon in NY, FL, MA, VA, NJ or PA you can now get local service with caller ID, 3 way calling, call waiting, voicemail, speed dial & untimed, UNLIMITED inter- & intrastate long distance all for $55 a month! It's their new Veriations Freedom plan, I was going to switch to that Vonage Broadband phone service but hell, this is just $15 more & I won't lose my phone if the power goes out!
I'm sure this will be offered to all Verizon customers in the future but if you're in one of the selected areas definitely call them for more details. I just switched today, goodbye $200 phone bills...
