We're just the opposite from most of y'all...we each have pre-paid Tracfone for cell service ... $100/year for 600 minutes and we never use up all the minutes.

So, one landline and two cheapo prepaid cell phones.
Hi V07,
I don't talk on the phone much either and never use up all my minutes. If I used a cellphone primarily for calls, I'd probably get one like yours!

It's strange though, when I think about it. Of all the things I can do with my cellphone, I use it the least for talking on the phone. I use it most often to read various news media, sometimes read books synced with my Kindle if I'm waiting somewhere, check weather, use golf GPS, take photos, get my daily Sudoku fix, listen to music. I use it for other stuff too, but you get the idea. It's as much a "to go" computer as it is a phone.
