As said, Magicjack is convenient and cheap. The ads are in the phone console itself and EVERY phone company collects call data worldwide.
A nice benefit is that since most houses are wired for two phone lines, you can have an electrician put in a phone outlet to activate the second pair of wires for that second line, connect your magicjack to it and Voila!...you have a dedicated long distance line.
