My 02 bill when I get back home, even with careful usage takes a massive hit!!

Thanks

What locations do you visit and how often are you here?

There are "dial-around" services where you can call lst world landlines for around 3 cents/min. (you would, of course, be paying for airtime if calling from your cell. You can dial them free from a landline.
