The $7.00 I did not send Verizon this month
Without modifying my local calling behavior to any real extent, I saved $7.00 this month on my local phone bill by switching from flat rate ($17.00/mo) to measured service ($10/mo). In fact, I didnt even break the $3.00 allowance mentioned in my earlier post, such that any per minute charges kicked in for local calls!
Without PhoneGnome to help me keep track of my actual call data, I never would have had the data that allowed me to confidently make the switch to measured service. Now that local flat rate calling is no longer important in the post-dialup Internet access era, switching to measured service can make a lot of sense.
Awesome. $7.00 I keep, instead of sending to the Telephone Company. $7.00 saved is $7.00 earned.
