I want to see how few minutes I can use on my cell phone this month while still maintaining my typical level of conversation with friends and family. Oh, and the voice quality needs to be good so people I call don’t get dropped or ask me why the connection sounds bad. Here’s the plan:
- Keep track of how many minutes are being used. The minutes used will be always at the bottom right corner of my internet browser. The free browser add on that allows me to do this is T-Mobile (USA) Minutes Used.
- Call using the Gizmo Project. This program somehow allows me to make free calls over the internet.
- Call using Skype. I’ve paid for a year of unlimited calling for $15 so it is much less expensive than my cell phone provider … but it’s not free. Plus, this only works when I’m at home with my computer.
- Nights and weekends: when using my cell phone I get unlimited calls after 9 pm and over the weekend.
I’ll report to you at least around August 13th.

You could also count people commenting on your blog… are there any added fees here to consider?

The blog costs nothing to maintain outside of the yearly cost of evanwilder.com (~ $8/ year) and for hosting service (~ $3/ month) that covers anything going on at evanwilder.com. The price is so low I consider it nearly free.
To update you, I’ve used 193 minutes this month so far.
