I dumped my land line and got out of my cellphone contract when the company changed its terms. (Did you know that if they do that, it voids the contract?

They don't tell you that, but I saw it on the Consumerist site and it worked! No termination fee too. Haha.)

Anyway, I got a prepaid Net10 phone and everything is 10 cents a minute... even International calls which is great since my son is traveling right now.

But the best thing about this is that there aren't any bills and I know what my costs are because I pay upfront for my calls. It's great!
