Phone Service - Reducing my costs for Phone Service

We all need phone service but what are the options out there.

I am going to test out Straight Talk this month and see how it works. These prepaid phones and plans are sold at Walmart. It is $30/mth for 1000 minutes, 1000 texts and 30 Mb of Internet Access. They also have a $45/mth plan that is unlimited.

I currently have Verizon and pay around $50/mth but it just doesn't work at my house so I need something else. I will let you know how it goes. I am thinking if it works then I can do the $30/mth plan and use my Skype phone for my home service to reduce the minutes I need. I currently use Skype at home through my normal phone and an adapter. It has to be connected to a computer but I only pay about $70/year for a phone number and unlimited phone service.

If I can save around $20/mth I will be very excited plus get a phone that works even better!
