That really wasn't my point- I was making the case that "Talk Forever" at
$10/month could replace the $30/month a POTS line costs. The "free" LD
would just be gravy.

In SMS' case, he gets a really good deal on POTS (<$20/month), and I'd agree
with him that the convenience and reliabilty of a landline isn't worth
dumping to save $5-10/month. In my case, Qwest in Denver charges me about
$35 including junk fees and taxes, so a $10/month unlimited service would
make more sense. I've resisted VoIP so far, since unlimited runs about
$20/month, and the $10 difference (Qwest charges $5/month more for internet
if you drop local phone service for DSL only, so my net savings would be $10
rather than $15) doesn't justify losing landline reliability. T-Mo's
service would save me $20/month which would justify switching. IMO.
