    Anyone have any bright ideas for ways to save money on telephone, cellphone and internet service?

    Currently have Comcast cable and internet, Vonage for 2 lines and 3 cellphones with Verizon. Thinking of dumping 1 home telephone line and would love to save money on the rest of it. Only idea I can come up with is dropping Comcast internet and substituting iPhone tethering since they are supposed to support that (officially) sometime soon - I think I read that somewhere. Yes, I know that you can tether now.
    Like I said - any bright ideas for consolidation and cost saving?

    Every time I think about switching away from Verizon Wireless I recall how good the coverage is and how many friends are on it and I wind up staying with them.

    Is it possible for you to get FiOS?

    If not, not sure what else you could do...

    No - they aren't in my area - and the introductory prices are attractive but that doesn't last long.

    If it's just you, pick up the verizon wifi, cancel the ATT service on the iphone, load Skype on it and make your calls via the mifi as well as using it for internet. As far as TV, Dish is probably the cheapest but if you like sports, Directv isn't bad. You could also stream your shows through hulu or Netflix.
