From the information given, the original costs per month were

Cell phone service $34.15

Landline phone service = $31.36

Cable TV service = $56.25

Internet service = 41.48

The total cost per month would be

34.15 + 31.36 + 56.25 + 41.48 = 163.24

For the new company that they found, the total cost is $1431
