Cheap?!? I don't think I ever had a landline that was less then $50 a month in the U.S. Sure you might be on the $29 plan but there is another $14 from a dozen taxes and another $8 of this months pick of "charges" by the phone company. Price was actually the reason to move to a cell phone. And with the ability to get pay as you go phones you can actually put a hard budget of $X a month to phone without needing to have a +-$5 fudge every month for changes in policy and company charges and taxes.
