Well, phone calls are 27 cents/minute (~P10), and I've racked up a hundred dollars worth since I've been back. I mostly want to send the "I love you" variety, but I'm willing to pay. I have found a free gateway that let me send one or two, but it has a daily limit (don't remember which one). I can get a powertel phone here that'll do sms to the PI, which is what one of my Filipino friends here is doing. But I already have another phone so it wouldn't make sense if I can do it online. I've heard chicca.com a couple of times, I'll give that a try. Michael -- Michael Darrin Chaney [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.michaelchaney.com/ _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
