Abstract
A telephone system and method for reducing the costs for out of area calls made on a cell phone. The system includes a cell phone, a local telephone number, a land line and an access code and a timer. The system records the telephone number of the cell phone that dials into the system and immediately disconnects the call. The system recalls the cell phone with a message to enter a requested out of area phone number, completes the call over a land line and connects the requested number to the cell phone as an incoming or local call. The cell phone user is then billed for the use of the land line.
