Overall, your idea is not bad. But you have one problem. A conversation that is interupted every 59 seconds and then resume every 15 seconds would really sucks. Just think how many times you have to input keys on your phone (talk, end, destination phone number) or how many times you have to answer the phone. All this for a time when cell phone prices are so cheap. Pacbell in Southern California gives you 500 minutes for $50 a month, this is a lot of minutes where the average cell calls are 2 minutes long. Sorry man, I don't mean to bust your bubble but the idea is well, hard to buy. dolphinride@usa.net wrote in message <801mhf$mml$1@nnrp1.deja.com>... >Okay, several cellular providers offer what they call "first inbound >minute free". > > > I am thinking of a computer program that would allow someone to >initiate a phone call to their home phone, connected to a computer >running this software.
