Reducing Land Line Phone Bill

Every month I get my land line bill, it's an annoyance to see the bill filled with all kinds of fees and taxes even though we don't make too many local calls using our land line. Unfortunately, we need the land line for access to internet as a backup during emergencies when our high speed internet is not working. Fortunately, when I called my local phone company, I found out that the company offers pay per call plan which would reduce our monthly bill to some extent. Basically, we will need to pay about 10 cents per local call if we make it. Like all plans, with this plan also you pay a fixed, minimum service fee and of courses, the taxes. However, the advantage of this plan is that if we don't make too many local calls, which is the case for us, we don't have to pay for it. So this plan, worked out less expensive for us than the monthly unlimited plan.

I think most phone companies offer such pay-per-call plans. However, I haven't seen them advertise it nor list it on their Web sites. So it pays to call them up and ask the CSR about it.
