I only have a cell phone, I have free nights that start at 7:00pm and free weekends. I have no home phone and of course my work phone. So if it's before 7:00pm on weekdays I don't use it.
I have no idea what skyp (?) is, but it sounds interesting. Sorry your phone bill is soooo high!!!
You have a PM

Crumpet did you not hear about TalkTalk? For £21 per month they give broadband internet of up to 8Mb and free (zero cost) calls to fixed phones in the UK, all EU countries (and a few more European countries), USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and several more international countries. To the USA and Canada calls to mobile phones are also free.
I have a feeling you would have saved a lot of money with them since I suppose most phones you call are on zero cost with TalkTalk, £275 ($550) would give you 13 months of that service.
i have heard of Talk Talk but I've just not paid any attention to teh adverts! I will look into this and someone said you can buy phone cards which let you talk abroad for hours for a tenner. I must look into this.
What would be much better is if all my friends and lovers could just relocate and be with me, then I wouldnt have to rack up the phone bills.
Maybe so, but just think how much a bed big enough for us all is going to cost!

I see only one problem with that deal, they only give you 8Mb of data a month. You'll chew that up within the first hour, what do they charge after that?
My advice would be to go with Skype, just download the program, plug a microphone into your souncard (headset is prefferable). They do have a number where you can test your audio, you'll find it easily you just talk when prompted and it plays your recording back so you can hear how your connection is etc. You can search for someone on skype by using their email address as well, in fact thats how it works, you're not given a number.
That's pretty much it!
I know XBC kids use Skype like crazy. It's great for that...never used it myself, though...

Ok I'm back. You should be able to get those from your supermarket, lots of companies do these. Australia has GoTalk, HappyCalling, SuperBuzz to name a few. How they work is you ask for say $10 of credit. They give you a voucher with a number you call that's local call cost, then you put your voucher number in, you'll hear how much credit you have, then you dial the number your wanting to call. They can be extemely cheap. I used to sell a lot of these at my former job of checkout operator in a supermarket. One german girl told me it is cheaper for her to ring her parents in Germany from here using SuperBuzz than it is to call them from her own country. I'd combine these with Skype and your phone bill will be nothing like it is now.
