Nah, ClaraNET have started something similar (Can't remember the name of the service - Freecall?). One of the new packages is that if you pay an extra 11.75 a month, you get unlimited free weekend calls, and there are other packages which deal with weekdays, limited free hours, etc... See http://www.clara.net as I expect they'll have a big announcement about it. It's an amazing development, an ingenious solution to the problems of not having free local phone calls. Nick
