What service do you use and what are the rates?

Pat's from Hull. We did the K1 visa for him and were married in 2001. Gosh - I don't miss those applications and adjustment of status forms! Makes an IRS audit look like a Sunday afternoon picnic in the park, doesn't it?

We're using Covista for our long distance. It's about 4.9 cents per minute - which works for us since normal calling for him is a 2 hour call, every other month.

We're going to keep watching what's going on with Vonage. Their 14.99 plan + normal UK rate would save us a little money - but it would likely be a wash if we got the prepaid cell phone. Thier 24.99 plan includes free calls to UK land lines, be we don't call enough to make that worthwile. I'd also want to test with someone else's cell phone first to see if we can actually find any place on our land where one would work.
