In fact, I was checking out companies this morning. Have you got a spy cam in my computer? LOL Daniel,

We also call overseas, and for my brother and grandmother, who are at near there computer often, skype works well. There is also a calling card that gets used for more serious calls. I also have AT&T, and have been trying to find the best rate for our family. What do you think about AT&T's new A-List feature (Free calls anytime to 10 out of network numbers)? Does this help out? If your calling card is one of those numbers..then you're only paying for the cost of the card, not for minutes or a $50/month service.

Tired of their bullying! My wife did a survey and found that two customers in the past year used the yellow pages to get our Driving School phone number! We dropped it and saved $15000.00 per year!!!!! We have free listing and that suffices! Maybe that might be something to rethink. We are also working on dropping cable, going to Verizon for internet. That will save 100.00 monthly. Fired the phone company Years ago. Tired of their bullying!

I have a cell, and the wife has a "smart phone". Have cable, and had a hell of a time dealing with the cable company when I first got new service. Now I have promo-pricing for a full year. Pay regular internet, though could try the same tactic (complain and see what they offer) or try a co-operative with neighbors (sharing wi-fi). I fired the phone company about a year ago.

The cost is $24.99/month. Able to call for free unlimited to all the 50 states and 60 countries. They also have a wonderful scheme going on now. If I refer anybody and they signup I would get two months free and you will also get two months free. The chain continues on the number of referals .... Call qulaity is excellent to any of the 60 countries. Have shifted to Vonage. The cost is $24.99/month. Able to call for free unlimited to all the 50 states and 60 countries.
