I want to switch to T-mobile at home because it is a lot cheaper but I’m worried that I will lose my DSL service if I cancel my AT&T home phone plan.

i have the service here @ my home. AT&T offers home service for internet that doesn’t require home phone service. Check it out for more info: http://www.globalinx.com/?bNew=True&strRIN=L367329

Will I still be able to access the internet or no?

My home phone service is also AT&T.
I got AT&T DSL.

You’ll be okay. You don’t have to have a voice landline in order to have DSL service.

I have Qwest right now and i am tired of them. High bills, poor service i use the internet a lot and talk on the phone rarely. But i want BOTH! my bill is at $60.00 and up and i just want a different company with better service and cheaper. I was looking at vonage what do you guys think?

Try your cable company

I live in Ontario Canada, and would like to get away from Bell Telephone service. I find them to be very expensive and the customer service is terrible. We cannot get cable where we live, we have satellite TV and I believe DSL internet. I’ve looked into Magicjack, and comwave so far. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for cheap home phone providers? Has anyone actually used Magic jack?
Much appreciated!

The problem with MagicJack is it is entirely dependent on having your computer running all the time, otherwise you won’t be able to make or take phone calls. To call it a home phone is a bit stretching it.

Comwave is a better option and quite affordable. For $10 a month you can get a basic home-phone service with unlimited local calling. It is worth noting that this is a VoIP service which means the calls are routed over your Internet connection to save money, but in every other way it’s just like a normal home phone.

Viatalk is another highly recommended VoIP service.
Edit: Sorry, I made an error. ViaTalk does not service Canada. You can still get outbound calling, but your incoming number would be for some city in the U.S.
For Canadian VoIP providers, see here:

This is what I was saying about ViaTalk:

For about $10.75 a month (on a yearly contract) you can get unlimited calling to Canada and the USA as well as all the extras (Caller ID, Call Waiting, VoiceMail) included.

As a limited time promotional offer, Via Talk will also include a second phone line free with your $10.75/mo service. That means you can have two independent phone calls at the same time.

As another bonus offer, you also get 60 minutes of free calling to most popular International destinations including Australia and the United Kingdom.

I live in lafayette louisiana and i just want basic home phone service! That’s it!

Call your local Southwestern Bell company and ask. Louisianna PUC still insists that local TelCo’s provide basic telephone (called POTS for Plain Old Telephone Service) for people who want it.

That is for they have cell phone, they told you a lie that they were getting you one.Then get you a computer and forget all about it. I am sixteen now and think it is time for me to Make decisions on my on. But i do not know what to do because i have a strict mother. But very desperate to talk to my friends. Especially on snowy days like these.Please help, i am desperate for answers.

You can talk to your friends on Facebook, Myspace, or AIM on your new computer. You can also have live video chats with them if you have a webcam on your computer.

You don’t have any phones in your house? And your parents won’t give you a phone? Usually parents want their teenage kids to have cellphones so that they can call them to find out where they are at any time.

I need a phone for my home as cheap as possible. Incoming call should be free. I have internet connection in my house. so if any internet phone is cheap,its ok too.

thanks

My husband and I are needing internet in our home. We both use our cell phones and do not have a land line. I am just wondering if we would need to set up a land line if we were interested in getting dial up?

Dial up, yes. It runs on the phone line.

Go for cable broadband- In my area, it was about $5 less to get cable internet service than it was for a phone line and dial up, AND, it’s tons faster. You wouldn’t want dial up. It’s far too slow these days with so many web pages using more & more graphics & stuff that takes way longer to load than you’d want to wait around for on dial up.

I’ve been using Comcast for both internet and phone, but lately the cell phone is the primary calling device. And now I want a cheaper home phone service. So I called up AT&T and asked them about it and they said I must get a bundle called UVerse with internet, phone, and TV cable, but I don’t need any of that except for the home phone. Can they do something like this?

And does anyone have any suggestions for cheap home phone services.

sure you can just get POTS (plain old telephone service) with ATT…

perhaps the person that you spoke with got confused if you explained to them that you currently have all of your services thru the cable company…

when you call them back, forget about explaining all of the services that you currently have… just request that all you want is a standard land line telephone… i guess that they are trying to promote or push the Uverse service (which is fiber to the home, similar to verizon FiOS)
