It lets you make unlimited calls through your computer's broadband internet connection for like $20 a year. I am looking into tracfone too, thinking that they will be the best deal on a phone and service.

Thanks Mari! You're awesome, I really appreciate you writing a bit today, I know daytime is hard fighting fatigue for you, I remember what that was like when I didn't sleep well and wasn't using my CPAP....Thanks again for your wonderful support!
