I curious thing I've ran into, I need help making an actual equation out of the following:
Well, my cable phone bill is 14.99 USD per month (local calls only, no caller ID, voice mail, etc). I average about 30~40 minutes per month of talk time.
Tracfone would be 19.99 USD for 120 Minutes for 90 Days. 19.99 / 3 (to get it down to per month unit as the cable is) would be 6.66 USD a month for tracfone. As such, I save about 7.5~8 USD a month.
But I'd also have 30 minutes extra since I only took into account the ~30 minute average.
Please note the extra minutes. I need a finite, real equation to figure this out properly. What I want to find: is the cost of savings by inputting a per month phone bill, average minutes per month, and cost of tracfone minutes per 90 days. (You will need to divide by three to get the units down to 30 days for the tracfone.)
