$30.  But since I don't have to pay for the old dialup access anymore, 
which was also about $30, and if I didn't want the freedom plan I could 
drop back to basic residential, which would then have me paying 20-30 a 
month in long distance charges to get to that dialup provider.

So I used those savings to justify the freedom plan, which lets me call 
anyplace in the lower 48 for $59.95/month.

So at the end of the month, my vz bill is $106, whereas before I was paying 
2 people about $120-130 a month total.
