Well, I think I might have finally found a company putting out a Long Distance Product at a price that makes sense.  I bought a Magic Jack a month ago... plugged it into my USB Port, hooked up my land line to it, and voila.. I now can call ANYWHERE in North America UNLIMITED for a FULL YEAR for a measley $20.  Now that's a deal.  So now no matter where I go in the whole entire world with my laptop and my Magic Jack, so long as I have high speed internet available to me, I can still call North America Unlimited... even if I'm in England, or South Africa, or India, or Australia.... now that's a sweetheart deal, and just goes to show you how badly we've been getting ripped off by the local phone companies... Long distance charges are a scam.
