What
are some alternative uses that might help defend your household against
distance charges?
Here are Some Ideas … What can you do to avoid the $12 per line "distance" charge that Qwest currently imposes? You may be able to reduce the number of "wired" phone lines in your home by considering these options for voice, Internet, and fax services: |

 |
Voice: Consider going wireless, for at least some of your phone lines — There are countless deals available through various companies and you may even be able to get a better deal by signing up for a "family plan." |

Internet: If you have a wired phone line that you use mainly for internet access, take a look at the services that offer high-speed internet access without using a phone line. Add up how much you're spending on wired phone line charges, distance charges, taxes, and your monthly ISP bill about what you would pay for high-speed options. (See Internet Connections) |

Fax and Voice Messaging: If you have a phone line in order to be able to receive faxes, you could eliminate that phone line by switching to one of the web and/or your e-mail based fax services - you'll save money and have features that aren't available with traditional fax machines.
