Now that it’s possible to make phone calls over Wi-Fi on smartphones–which is free–you might be starting to wonder why you are paying for phone service. This is especially true if you live in an urban area, where Starbucks and Panera shops are on every corner and offer free Wi-Fi.
Well, Cablevision seems to agree. The company announced a new service called Freewheel, which is a Wi-Fi-only phone service with unlimited talk, text and data. The best part? The company isn’t requiring an annual contract.
If you already have Cablevision for your cable, Internet or land-line service, then it will only cost $9.95 per month. If you’re not a Cablevision customer don’t fret; it’s still pretty cheap at only $29.95 per month, according to The New York Times.
The only catch–besides that you need to be in a place with a Wi-Fi connection to use your phone–is that Cablevision is only offering the service to work on a Moto G, which costs $99.95, according to Engadget.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the service launches in February, and is the first of its kind.
