Discounts, deals and promotions are the key to saving money.However, how do you really choose the best calling plan for your family? Are phones dead? Do people still use phones?

I do remember using phones with round dialers and chords in the 90's. Phones are the easiest way to communicate before beepers and mobile phones came to the market. But the fast pace of technology's development is slowly removing the use of home phones. Aside from having carry anywhere mobile phones we do have apps and Voips that allows us to call local and internationally.

For those who still believe in the importance of having a home phone or maybe plan on getting one this checklist might be able to help you choose the best plan.

1. How many times do you call overseas?
Most companies offer unlimited calling plan for local calls. But when it comes to international and long distance calls they do have calling plans that can help you save more money. Adding that on your service plan will at least charge you less per minute on calls this would be great if you have family members living overseas. Or if you have business that deals with a lot of calling for updates.

2. Are there kids, elders or disabled in the house?
E911 (Enhanced 911) phone feature which will determine a callers location and information will help in times of emergency. Having a home phone will help in case there's an emergency and mobile phone networks are down. And in case anything happens you can teach your kids how to dial 911. Easy access to emergency help line.

3. Security
People use equipment to easily intercept in mobile phone. Using landline needs bugging devices to intercept which needs to be installed in wires or phones itself.

4. Are you a home buddy?
If you rarely go out since landline phone plans are much more economical than mobile phone services. And plus local calls are free, it will allow you to save on monthly bills.

5. Are you signing-up with other services too?
If you are signing up services like cable or internet, choosing a bundle deal will let you get promotions that cost less if you add a phone line. You will have a phone and enjoy other perks as well. You might as well try a Triple Play bundle to enjoy all the freebies and bundle advantages.

Before finalizing your plan. Call service provider specialists to get prices and serviceability.
