Naked DSL

Yes naked DSL is a new service that AT&T offers for people who just want DSL only service with no land line phone. All you have to do is call the 800 number at 1-800-288-2020 and ask for DSL service only. Rates are reasonable and with no commitment. Take control of your service.

Results:

Today I canceled my land line phone service with Bellsouth and saved $18.53 a month.
I never used my home phone service and since I have my cell phone why even try.
Now with an extra $222.36 a year in my pocket I will guess sooner or later I'll go with Verizon's unlimited plan or save the money until my cell phone minutes gets excessive.

So if your in the same boat paying for service your never going to be using. Give it a try an save the extra buck..
