The Best Idea my Parents ever had
May 20th, 2008
When my best friend went away to school a few years ago, her parents set up a toll free number for her.
This allowed her friends back home and all of her family to call her without costing them a dime. It was pretty cool too because they were able to get a personalized number that had her name on it.
This made it easy to remember her toll free service number and it rang through to her cell or house phone as she designated.
She has a large family and they are all super close to each other so this was a smart investment on her parent’s part. With four sisters and numerous cousins and aunts and uncles to keep up with, she is on the phone constantly.
For us friends, it was great too. My finances aren’t that great in the first place so having to make long distance calls was out of the question. This helped a ton and I think more parents should do it for their kids when they go off to school.
