[Magdalen] Just canceled landline.

[Lynn Ronkainen]

I recently discovered while a friend was traveling in Canada, that cell 
phones can use an ap to make long distance, international calls using wifi 
at no charge, and I know Apple has it's own set up for this.

Roger you might look into this when you come to the states this winter, you 
might be able to use your own phone if you have wireless access here.
