tokyorose: thanks for recommending jajah! will definitely check it out.

one of the problems with the land line is that some relatives call us from the Philippines and the call gets charged to us automatically. over $130 in long distances calls this month. so, definitely need to figure something out. thank you.

do you use skype or jajah at all, carlos? those two go a long way in cutting down my phone bill…i especially like jajah becos the call is transferred to your landline (or mobile, if your country is in the right zone), so the sound quality is the same as a regular call, while being absolutely free. check it out:

we still have one, but we are getting rid of it soon for the same reasons you just mentioned.

it’s amazing how much we spend on services we don’t really need. i don’t need 300 minutes a month for my cellphone. My calls usually last about 1 minute and I don’t call people that often. I use facebook, email, and instant messenger to contact my friends & family 99% of the time. If I wasn’t scared that I’d run out of minutes in an emergency, I’d make the switch to prepaid.

Pat: did i congratulate you on your son’s marriage? belated congrats, man! :o)

yes, there’s always one reason or another to keep the land line, isn’t there. still, it would be nice to ditch it. ;o)

We still have a land line phone. We are contemplating dumping it, but if order PPV movies with Directv it saves us like $5 each time by having it hooked up. My son, who just got married, only uses cell phones however.

Manny: phone cards are definitely a way to save more money with regards to cellphones. hmm… good point that not everyone still has adequate cellphone coverage.

i was thinking that at the very least a land line is a good backup. but with the land line it’s very expensive to do the long distance calls, especially to and from the Philippines.

gotta research more about the internet phone possibilities….
