Does anyone here pay around $7 for basic phone service?

[jinduy]

i'll be moving soon to an apartment and need broadband... the cheapest route for me is probably to get dsl and pay for some cheap phone service. i heard sbc offers a $7 service where you charged for any minute used...

does anyone have this? comcast is a ripoff.

I have it. we never use the phone, so we just went with the cheapest availible plan to go with dsl.

both my roommate and I use our cellphones for all of our calls.

sbc doesn't service your area or you just like verizon's service better?

fees are roughly the same for me (Jersey City, right across the river from NYC). I don't mind paying the extra couple bucks because DSL is faster than cable in my area.

With cavalier, you can get VOIP and DSL for about $50 a month with no taxes. I'm not sure if there are any other fees.
