Worst place to be, a DMV licence renewal office. Can you say QUEUE?

$290 ain't too bad. My LD bills to the UK have exceeded that in the past (by a lot

Is this on a mobile or land-line phone? Cos I don't see a "call-all-you-want-to-the-UK" plan for land line long distance.

What is the name of the plan as it appears on your billing statement?
AFAIK the only "all-you-can-call" plans are VoIP.

Is this just to the UK or Western Europe?

Here 'tis indeed .... only to landlines.
It's available to the Netherlands, but I can't use it as I'm calling a mobile.
But for those of you who call the UK a lot, you might look into it.

The wife and eldest have just received their EAD so the question is should they apply for Social Security Numbers? I'm not sure why this is important. The wife has no intention of working and the eldest is only 14. Is there any benefit ? do we need this for the GC interview? I have OK credit now (700+ after following the excellent advice on this site - but I dont really need it) but its just under my Social Security Number - does that matter ?
Any thoughts ?

1) SSN is very handy for a lot things, not least of all credit scoring so no harm in doing it.
2) You might want to change your tag line. "Leo Slayer" makes you sound like a cop killer. LEO - Law Enforcement Officer - Slayer.

It's called the International Choice Plan Unlimited Country.
Note: It is ONLY to UK Landlines and does not cover non-geographic location calls (0870, 0845 etc)
