Most people don't realize they don't HAVE to choose a long distance carrier and just dropping them altogether and only keeping access to 800 numbers can save you >$20 month. <br/><br/>Then, go to Sam's (or whereever you can find the cheapest phone card rate) and buy a 2000 minute phone card that you can recharge. Program the 800 # on one of your memory buttons on the phone and program the pin # on another memory button. VOILA. Pick up your phone, hit memory (whatever) then listen. When it asks for the pin# hit memory (whatever) and then dial. <br/><br/>No carrier monthly charge, no PICC fees, no local and state tax, yada yada.
