Just FYI, Fabrisse, my cellphone is a pre-paid Tracfone - $100/YEAR (yes, year), with a given number of minutes (400/year, I think) that carry over if unused as long as you keep your "subscription" active. Depending on which phone you buy (not included in the $100/year) you can get double or triple minutes. This gives me the freedom of a cellphone when I want it at a price I'm willing to pay for the amount I use it. I prefer to make my calls from home, so the land line works better for me for most of my phone usage.
