The Value Of An Out Of Market Number

For the past few years my mom has been calling me long distance, but of late, now that I reinforced the point of my local Philadelphia CallVantage number she finally began using it. Why? She decided to trim her phone budget by some $25.00 a month eliminating unnecessary features like three way calling, speed dial and voice mail, most of which she never used. She kept call waiting, but has eliminated the local phone company's all you can talk plan for long distance as I'm the only person she needs to call that way and the CallVantage number in Philadelphia makes it a local call.

If mom was on broadband I'd have given her a PhoneGnome, but she's not.
