Phonecards are cheapest from a normal phone, but also work from mobile phones. .... Telstra's PhoneAway card is very flexible. It has a local free call number which can be called from 'everywhere'. I never had a public phone (booth) where I had to pay for the local call. Just to clarify Frank's excellent information on phonecards, I should stress that the "free call number" isn't free from a cellular phone. It's likely to be charged at the full domestic rate, plus the phonecard charges. And ironically, calling Canada from an Australian cellular phone within Australia can be cheaper than calling a domestic Australian number. It will depend on the network, and time of day. Phonecards are cheap for calls made from a _landline_ phone. John |

You're WRONG!!! Triband phones are 900/1800 (for most of the world) and 1900 for North America! I OWN one, and use it in Australia and Canada!! There are also 4 band phones (don't go there - you obviously don't understand much really at all!!) You're wrong. Not all tri-band phones have the same bands. Just because _yours_ is 900/1800/1900 doesn't mean they all are. http://www.expansys-usa.com/product.asp?code=P910A Note this one. 850/1800/1900. Phones can have one, two, three or four bands. For single band phones, personally, I have seen GSM900 and GSM1900. I don't believe that GSM1800-only phones exist. When Europe got GSM1800, dual-band phones came out. GSM900 and GSM1800. You can also get dual-band "World Phones." They do GSM900 and GSM1900. You can use them in Europe and Asia, but you may not be able to use all network providers - VIrgin Mobile UK won't work with a GSM 900 phone, for example. Next came tri-band phones. The first ones were GSM900/GSM1800/GSM1900. More recently, GSM850 has come along. You can now get dual-band GSM850/GSM1900 phones. You can _also_ get tri-band GSM850/GSM1800/GSM1900 phones. In the US, Cingular and AT&T were offerring GSM850, and would not sell a phone that didn't have it. That got the manufacturers to ship GSM850 phones quickly enough. Oh yeah, mustn't forget WCDMA phones that do 2100MHz: http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,58711,00.html GSM900/1800/1900, and WCDMA2100. Quint-band phones will be out eventually. And I just heard about 400-something MHz being used for wideband data in Eastern Europe, so we'll need six bands... As to previous peoples' comments about the quality of European GSM phones over American phones, don't forget Japan. Japan has some of the most advanced phones on the market, and they are CDMA - same basic technology as the US. Not compatible, of course; that would be too easy. The same way Americans are usually unware of how many really cool phones are available in Europe, Europeans aren't aware of how many really advanced phones are on the market in Japan. I often wonder why people with no knowledge, and nothing to contribute persist in misleading others!!! I wonder the same. Why do you persist? |

oil enough for deep frying
1 loaf French bread Lettuce tomatoes mayonnaise, etc. Marinate the fetuses in the egg-mustard mixture. Dredge thoroughly in flour. Fry at 375° until crispy golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels. Holiday Youngster One can easily adapt this recipe to ham, though as presented, it violates no religious taboos against swine. 1 large toddler or small child, cleaned and de-headed Kentucky Bourbon Sauce (see index) 1 large can pineapple slices Whole cloves Place him (or ham) or her in a large glass baking dish, buttocks up. Tie with butcher string around and across so that he looks like he?s crawling. Glaze, then arrange pineapples and secure with cloves. Bake uncovered in 350° oven till thermometer reaches 160°. Cajun Babies Just like crabs or crawfish, babies are boiled alive! You don?t need silverware, the hot spicy meat comes off in your hands. 6 live babies 1 lb. smoked sausage 4 lemons whole garlic 2 lb. new potatoes 4 ears corn 1 box salt crab boil Bring 3 gallons of water to a boil. Add sausage, salt, crab boil, lemons and garlic. Drop potatoes in, boil for 4 minutes. Corn is added next, boil an additional 11 minutes. Put the live babies into the boiling water and cover. Boil till meat comes off easily with a fork. Oven-Baked Baby-Back Ribs Beef ribs or pork ribs can be used in this recipe, and that is exactly what your dinner guests will assume! An excellent way to expose the uninitiated |

meat then season, continue browning.
De-glaze with sherry, add the reduced broth. Finally, put in the root vegetables and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Place the pie pan in 375 degree oven for a few minutes so bottom crust is not soggy, reduce oven to 325. Fill the pie with stew, place top crust and with a fork, seal the crusts together then poke holes in top. Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until pie crust is golden brown. Sudden Infant Death Soup SIDS: delicious in winter, comparable to old fashioned Beef and Vegetable Soup.

Pie crust (see index) Whole fresh pre-mie; eviscerated, head, hands and feet removed Onions, bell pepper, celery ˝ cup wine Root vegetables of choice (turnips, carrots, potatoes, etc) cubed Make a crust from scratch - or go shamefully to the frozen food section of your favorite grocery and select 2 high quality pie crusts (you will need one for the top also). Boil the prepared delicacy until the meat starts to come off the bones. Remove, de-bone and cube; continue to reduce the broth. Brown the onions, peppers and celery.
