I did the research a while back when we decided to cut out our home line. Long distance costs with Rogers, Bell or Telus are very high, and we didn't want to bother with calling cards. We found some good pay as you go options with a couple of alternate long distance companies like Yak and Startec. Low cost and easy to use. We ended up choosing alligatomobile www.alligatomobile.com The web site was pretty straightforward. We've had the service for about a month. It works well and the prices are pretty good. We will probably cut our home phone in the next few weeks. Stay away from long distance with your cell carrier. I did the research a while back when we decided to cut out our home line.

Having a company BlackBerry cuts down a lot of my personal usage as well. If you are going the Prepaid way, there are more
