It was I who mentioned bigzoo awhile back after reading about it on some e-mail newsletter. It's great for IN-STATE calls which are 10 cents on Sat and Sun with MCI and 20 cents during the day. This is 3.9 cents ALL the time, and NO ADDED taxes. But the pay phone charge is 55 cents, so unless you KNOW you will be on the phone a long time, it isn't worth it. In the beginning I would often get a busy signal and couldn't get into the 800 number, but things have improved considerably. Also, you have to use the money in the account in 3 months unless you add to the account, so isn't good to charge too much unless you really know you will use. Also you can see the prinout of your calls IMMEDIATELY at their web-site. Now if MCI could do that!!
