I imagine that this can be a major savings for you.  However the phone usage
pattern is going to be very different for me.

I currently have dial up internet service and am thinking of moving to a
high speed connection.  At that point,  my land line phone becomes very
unused.   I have a minimal cell plan that will be going away and was
thinking that all my phone calls could be put on one plan.

In my case, the idea is to get rid of one bill (not me) and have a single
better phone plan.
