I have that. It is something like $.35/min. incoming and
outgoing. There is a nasty monthly charge if you don't use it at all
for a month, but nothing if you use even one minute. Since I use it
for alarms from a public radio station transmitter site, it is almost
perfect. The only catch is that there is no roaming. The local area is
quite large, so that is not often a problem.
