Get a magicjack (www.magicjack.com)
Cost me 50$ first year
20$ a year thereafter
Free calls from my computer to usa and canada
can be used on any other computer too for free
I don’t have a land line phone but we get a heck of a deal on the cell phones we have, since my wife’s employer requires her to have one, they pay her $65 per month and we get 1400 minutes for $89 per month and that’s more than we ever use.
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I just checked out their website. Seems like a **very** good deal!
The taxes on our cell phone bill **REALLY** galls me! I'd be willing to go straight “magicjack” just to stick it to the government by not paying the taxes.
Magicjack has voice mail. If people wanted to call me they could just leave a message and I could call them back at my convenience.
Great tip. Question: does it only work on the one phone that is plugged into the computer, or if you plug, say, your kitchen phone in, can you still get the benefit on the extension phones, like in your bedroom or basement?
The website is saying “under $200.00 which probably means $195.99.
