I've heard of cheaper calling cards, but I don't know the name. I'll ask my friend and see what she uses.

I know xpress call is 2.5c a minute. The only thing is that you probably don't want to register McMaster's number as one of the numbers you use (I don't even know if you can). So everytime you use the service you have to enter a PIN which is like 16 numbers long.

Yes. The MSU is all about having things available for students when they need them, and usually very affordable.
