With NJ Bell, you have the option of getting unlimited local calling,
which is an option I have on my phone. For about $9 a month, I have
unlimited calling to about 83 exchanges. What I would recommend for
people who have this service is set up a simple database.
 
Exchange     Town
-----------------
 xxx          Any Town
 
Have the computer sort it by the exchange, print it out, fold the
paper in halves (so that you can read both sides), and when you have a
question, look down your 'exchange' list; if it is a local call then
talk forever. If not, limit your conversation. Another good feature
available is Selective Calling.  Which allows you to have 20 hours of
calling to a exchange that is maybe a little out of your 'free
exchanges'. I use this option for a BBS which I call a lot, and the
rate is $2 for 20 hours of calls, at any hour. In the long run this
will save you maybe $10 to $15 per month.
