Why Pay?

How much do you pay for your telephone phone bill?

Forget about throwback landlines, just your cell phone service plan?

I am the arch Luddite, so for me to stumble upon this cost free convenience on the Down-low means that virtually everyone is already in the know!

Know what?

There are a variety of FREE telephone services available to all of us which we should all be using, unless I’m missing something.  

I just telephoned a high school friend in Portugal through Facebook.  Remember “Long Distance calling”?

He sounded like he was next door and we caught up leisurely.

I used Facebook, but I had the WhatsApp option.  And I’m sure the cognoscenti know more.  

It really is a World Wide Web!

There is FaceTime as well. Although there are many free calling options — what would you do without your phone…. For all the other things you use it for?

One might then call you a progressive luddite as you continue to discover new ways of doing old time activities.

Many options out there that can help. I am slowly trying to use this thinking with my TV programing and the ever increasing cable bill.

Cutting the cable was such a pleasure and relief. We went with T-Mobile $50 a month for great internet and streaming, they are our phone carrier so it was easy. A terrific decision. Do it.

As ever, the solutions surround us and we have all we need. Dorothy Gale syndrome.

Thanks for helping me see I am not alone. Keep the wisdom coming.

I just got a Whats App message from a tour guide in Africa about our vacation there in a few weeks. I forgot I even had the App.
