No cell phone here as the connections in this rural area are poor.

The pricey one (Verizon) is abt. $90/month. Forget that!

I have this number stored in my telephone for IDT.

When I need to place a long distance call, I press the memory button on the phone and it connects me to IDT and I place the call.

I don't use it a whole lot (just put $20.00 on it the other day) but it is there and it works.
