I can't seem to find a VOIP provider that's pay-per-call (what I want) vs 
pay-per-month (what I don't want).  At least I don't want to pay more than a 
few bucks/month for how little I'll use it.

But I think I just came up with my solution.  A cheap ~$60 temperature monitor 
that uses standard phone service, coupled with Magic Jack.  The Magic Jack Plus 
is $70 up-front and $30/year; not bad.  I'll look some more for other options 
first.

Yes; I have a winter care-taker who happens to live next-door.
