Hi,
Any suggestions would be appreciated. We have been matched with an emom out of state. We have her contact information and attempted to call her last night using *67. However, her phone does not accept calls from blocked numbers.

We thought this would be part of a great solution to keep in contact with her. We set up a generic email account that goes to our mobile phones if she needs to contact us and thought we could block our number to call her. (This is our first call since the one with the SW prior to the match)

I know lots of people recommend pre-paid cell phones, but we hoped to avoid a lot of extra expense. Can anyone recommend a specific company that is cost effective?

Another thought was to purchase a phone card with minutes. I'm not sure, but I thought since you call a 1-800# that our number might not show up. Last idea is to add a line to our current cell plan, but not sure if you can make sure your last name does not show up with the number.

I would love to hear what works for others. Thanks!
