This tip might save you some money.
If you have a daughter she likely
A) has a cell phone
or
B) uses your home phone line all the time
or
C) has a second line
or
D) is a complete dork
or all of the above
This story will sound familiar. Daughter was always using the phone so i bought her a cell phone, she racked up a huge bill, explained to her how money doesnt grow on trees ( she explained how money is actually made from trees therefor it does grow on trees ) , she racked it up again , i cut it off, she tied up the phone all day , so i got her a second line in the house and a cell phone with a prepaid plan she cant charge anything on.
The upside is my phone is no longer tied up the downside is its costing me almost $100 a month to do so.
So i bought her this thing Read it here
Its a phone jack you plugin to your usb port of your computer that you just plug a regular phone into , you get your own number in whatever city you want, voicemail , callerid , etc , you can take it to any computer in the world , phonecalls to canada/usa numbers are free 24/7 from anywhere in the world. all it cost is 20 a YEAR for service and like 40 for the usb thingy.
The service is pretty good , better than a cell phone, occasionally it drops calls or sounds a little distant but overall it works , she is satisfied and i manage to save almost $100 a month
