When Claudeth first got here she ran up my landline to about $3000 in the first two months. :blink: I passed out when I received the first bill for over $2000 and there was more to come. I immediately shut the landline down to local calls only and bought her calling cards :)

Ouch! You've got me beat.... My first phone bill from calling my fiancee was almost $1,500. I've gotten it down to $300 to $400 a month now. I plan on buying her phone cards to call her family once she gets here, but for next Christmas, I'd like to buy them a computer with a webcam for VTC.

$500.00 making calls within Canada when I didn't have the proper long distance phone plan.

LMAO!

I like to think of Jesus as a mischievous badger.

Well look, I like the Christmas Jesus best, and I'm sayin grace. When you say grace, you can say it to grown up Jesus, or teenage Jesus, or bearded Jesus, or whatever you want.

I think I watched a little too much Talladega this weekend.

I never racked up a big phone bill but I spent about $1,000 over a 2 month period in long distance phone cards. I'm so glad she has broadband internet and we can use Skype voice/cam chat. I still buy a $50 card once in a while but it lasts me a month or two now.

Dang... Some of you all are CRAZY for not investigating better and CHEAPER methods of contact!

Skype.com - FREE video chat with excellent audio if both of you have a webcam and reasonable-speed internet.

Skype.com - CHEAP international calling! I pay $.05 per minute to a Colombian Landline and $.09 per minute to a Colombian Cellphone!

Mobilecaller.com - CHEAP international calling. Program your house and cell #'s into the online account and set your significant other as a speed dial #. Call the 800 number, enter a 3 digit pin, select the speed dial # and your connected! Varying plans, but $.05 to $.065 per minute for me!

I have never spent more than $25-$35.00 per month and we talk daily on the phone and nightly on webcam!
