you many have to make a few LD phone calls, but if you use skype you can do so for free until the end of the year....Trust me, a few pennies spent on phone calls is not high on my list of obstacles in finding him!

In any case, I think my long-distance plan gives me about 200 minutes a month as part of the package, and my average long-distance usage is... oh, about zero.
I asked my phone company for a plan that would give me basic service really cheaply, and charge me $5.00 per minute for long distance, but what I have is the least expensive they offer.
