We also have Hubby's family in England so we need cheap phone rates to the UK. We use a seperate long distance service for that (no monthly charge and less than 5 cents per minute to UK.)

Our situations are almost identical!
We use a prepaid cell phone (Virgin Mobile) which only costs about $5/month; unfortunately, it doesn't work at home (have to drive about 3 miles to higher elevation before we get service) or at my job, so Mark just takes it with him to work and we take it on road trips for emergencies.
We have a traditional landline mostly because we use it to call Mark's family back in England. The service we use requires a landline phone, or else the rates are a lot more expensive (but moot in our case, since the cell phone doesn't work at home anyway!).
Lynda, is your husband originally from England? If so, from where? Mark's originally from Hertfordshire and moved to the US in May 2003 on a K1 visa. We use OneSuite.com for our pre-paid long distance calls, I think it's about 2.5¢/minute to call the UK -- a steal, we can talk for 6 hours and it's still less than $10! What service do you use and what are the rates?
