That little gadget looks pretty interesting. My long distance runs
around 3 bucks a month so I don't need it, but for anyone that does do
long distance it would be a low risk gamble.
You could get one of those phones that need one phone line and come
with 3 extensions and use it from 4 places in the house without any re
wiring.
No incoming number I guess though?
