We pay $100 a year for our cell phone - it's T-Mobile Pay As You Go and you get 1000 minutes for $100, good for one year. We only use it for emergencies and traveling, and use our landline for everything else. Our landline includes long distance within the US and Canada and is bundled with our high speed internet through Qwest for $70 a month for both. We do not have cable, but our TV is hooked up to our computer and we use Hulu to watch new tv over the internet, through our regular tv. It's great!
You have to decide what your priorities are! We don't watch a lot of TV and I hate those people who walk around with their cell phones glued to their ears, so it was an easy decision for us!
