Could you call your cell phone company and ask them to check it out?? Another thought, when you bought something did you put in your cell phone # while registering the product, and even some medical center are asking for cell phone numbers also. Also there are ways people can pick up phone numbers electronically and if your friends and relatives are calling you either from a car, motel, and even home, someone can "capture" your phone number.

Right now I have a seven month puppy. Aah the energy!! Well you can be thankful she wasn't hurt. My son's college roommate's dog chewed threw an electrical cord. Luckily it wasn't plugged in. She's a mini doxie. Now she's the sweetest, calmest dog. It's actually payback, since she used to antagonise my older (now has angel wings) dog. Now the puppy won't leave her alone!

I guess it all depends on how much you call from home versus away from home or on the road. We use pre-paid cellular. The new phones were free after rebate and my wife and I each spend about $5-$7/month for the STI Mobile/Sprint service. We only make quick 1-2 minute calls for necessary reasons and it works fine anywhere in the country that Sprint covers. Voice mail and text messaging are turned off on both cellular phones. Other cellular providers are now joining the pre-paid game with good deals. We are still stuck with the old telephone company for home and home office lines. I must have the reliability and quality of a landline for my business. I do pay too much for long distance, toll-free, and local service for my business compared to the low rates available today. Bills are typically $35-$50/month for relatively low volume usage. The last time I switched was from MCI to Ameritech(i.e. SBC/AT&T/who knows?) It was a pain to switch, but the new lower rates were good for a year before they went up again. Our home phone line just went up to $22/month for local phone service. It started at $18 several years ago. Pre-paid long distance service is $.025/minute using cards from companies like Cheap Phonecards. The latest cards don't require you to enter the pin every time from home and you can program the 800 access number into speed dial. The long distance cards are great from hotels too. We are seriously considering the switch to broadband phone service, but our local numbers are not yet portable for Vonage or the others. We are just outside of their large markets. Broadband cable internet is $30/month and speed is around 300K or 10 times faster than dial-up. It is fast enough for our needs. The total bill (excluding my business) is around $67/month for all phones and broadband for my wife and I. Here is a link that might be useful: Cheap Phone Cards
