Worst that can happen is you burn up all your minutes and have to buy more.
Agreed. After years of having a cell phone I finally switched over to a prepaid phone. In this day and age, you can have a skype phone (for example), that plugs into a USB in any computer with an internet connection and lets you dial (and receive calls) anywhere in many countries for less than $10/month. You can also call internationally to other countries for pennies, and to other Skype users for free. That is just one example of technological advancement. Or There’s Magic jack, and on and on. We truly live in an age of technological miracles, for which I am grateful.

That's what Mrs. OldPossum and I use. I doubt that either of us places more than two to three state-to-state calls a month.
