I've seen AT&T ads for wifi for $14.95/month. I was using dialup on unlimited calling and no other services that was going past $33/month. So I switched to measured rate calling at $12.65+ and was going to put the difference into wifi. I hesitated and now the measured rate is $24/month and I can't use dialup.
So I have a brilliant idea of dropping Ma Bell and adding a second cell phone on my Sprint cell account for a measly $10 or so/month. This I would keep as a home phone only. I want something large that won't get lost in the couch cushions and will sit in a cradle/charger just like a cordless phone. I found a Blackberry Curve 8330 that might work, but one of the ebay ads says it required a dataplan. I'll check with Sprint tomorrow.
In the meantime, has any one else had the same idea and if so, what cell phone did you use to replace the old cordless? Did you get to keep the old number?
Thanks
