D2’s new apartment in LA has a security system where anyone who comes to see her has to call her apartment to be buzzed in. For some reason, she can only have an 818 area code phone number for this purpose, so we’re looking at the cheapest options for adding a phone line so she doesn’t have to change her cell phone number, which is a Chicago area code.

Talked to AT&T this morning; they can add a sort of land line for $9.99/month (they would send the equipment). But then we looked at the Magic Jack option, which is $19.95/year, but you have to buy the equipment, which we’ve seen for around $40.

Any other options out there we should check in to?
