It looks like you're not including the cost of your Internet service for
your VoIP phone.


True, but two points:

1. I would have the internet service even if I didn't have VoIP, so
it's not an extra cost occasioned by my having VoIP.

2. Even if you ignore my point #1 above and add in the $45 a month I
pay for the cable internet service, it comes to $61.67, still
substantially less than his $90.

Thanks for your advice, people, but this is _Canada_, where we have a
quasi-monopoly on cell phone service. Three major carriers, which don't
even share their networks properly.

For Canadian conditions, I'm paying at the low end of the scale, but I
am looking for better deals.

It doesn't matter where you live. VoIP phone services are available anywhere
in the world where you can find an Internet connection, including Canada.
You're overpaying, big time.
