[at-l] Bigzoo

[m_factor@hotmail.com (Mara Factor)]

I used freeway for my hike but they were a pain (had to listen to adds to 
get free long distance time) and no longer work from payphones so give them 
a pass.

Now, I use bigzoo even from home.  Can be a pain at times, especially in the 
evenings when the toll free number can sometimes be busy.  I usually get 
through with only a couple of tries though.  I think it's worth it.

Read the fine print though...  the 2.9 cents a minute rate adds a $.75/month 
fee.  Still reasonable though.

If I were hiking this year, I would use bigzoo.
