We found a company called family-phone.com that offers a service that parks your phone number with an answering machine. So if any one calls that number . . . → Read More: Park your phone Nov

Skype for International use. Skype, however, also lets you call out to mobile phones and land lines (a service called SkypeOut <http://www.skype.com/allfeatures/callphones/>) and enables you to have your own phone number in any of 23 countries, including the United States, Hong Kong, France and Italy (this is called SkypeIn <http://www.skype.com/allfeatures/onlinenumber/>).Both SkypeOut and SkypeIn carry a relatively low fee.

Cell Phone savings. After retiring we sat down and figured out where our money was going. One large expense was our cell phones. We were paying between $40 to $80 month. We re-though our calling habits and decided we could cut down on the number of calls per month, after all we are retired. We did not need all the bells and whistle ( web and e-mail) so ’pay as you go’ phone made sense. We do not use our cell phone for internet or e-mail at present. We could get our e-mail with a small net book at free wifi locations while traveling. Also we needed a phone that could be used internationally. So we got a basic phone that was unlocked and operated on multiple radio bands. An unlocked phone can be used with any carrier.
