Did the same thing, SOB.
Dropped the landline, solely cell now.
Cell is $42 per month. Landline was $49. Seldom used the landline...only when the Cell was acting up. Still does from time to time, but not worthy of the costs.
Funny thing is I just received the final bill. Some collection agency has it before me. They call, ask when I am making the final payment. I politely say at the end of the month. then this guy, for no real reason, goes into abusive collection guy (this isnt a big phone bill!). I politely tell the guy hey, I got the bill today, I told you when I'm paying it. I'm hanging up now, Good bye. He instantly calls back and starts with this "Yuo have to pay today or else" "Or else what, sir? Are you threatening me? Good bye". He procedes to call back 7 more times, each time I simply hangup. On #8, I ask for his supervisor. At first I get a LOT of attitude, then I ask if he is familiar with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I get a pause and a "yes". From this point on, I'm called "sir" a lot. I point out that his employee has violated section 806, Section 5 (Causing a telephone to ring or engaging any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with intent to annoy, abuse, or harass any person at the called number. ). He promises he will check into this, apologizes and we hangup.
I then follow up and file a complaint with the state
FYI...if you need it, the info on the FDCPA is
