Helen: I’ll be glad to share. This number is for a non-profit veteran’s organization, the Marine Corps League Outer Banks Detachment. We are very cost-conscious. We only really use the number for people to call us and leave a voicemail message. Thirty minutes of airtime per month is more than enough for us. We currently use Tracphone to do what we need as we really don’t use minutes. We simply retrieve the message and call back using our personal phone. That’s fine for use because we are dealing with fellow Marines. Also, since SmartLine doesn’t identify us to the recipient of our calls, I doubt that there would be any benefit in using the SmartLine number over our personal number. Tracphone’s annual cost for us is about $64. Switching to SmartLine would simply mean we could get rid of the second phone and I could just carry my personal phone. I think GoDaddy is really swell. I have numerous domains registered through you, and you host my detachment’s website also. Spending $100 per year doesn’t make sense when we have the service through Tracphone for $35 less. It doesn’t sound like a lot of money, but I am committed to make every single dollar stretch—for $35 I can buy two more kids toys for Christmas for our Toys for Tots Program. Feel free to pass this on to Bob Parsons. Being a Marine too, he’ll understand.
