From all the problems I've had in the past and all of the postings I see on a monthly basis, I thought I would post this here.I've had the problems of providers calling me back days or even weeks later or when I specifically told them not to call back. You can get your self into trouble this way with your SO. Big trouble.. I've also sweated my SO finding my cel bill and asking questions I didn't want to answer.
Don't call providers from your home number. It's a stupid thing to do and can get you into trouble (blackmail for one).
Don't call providers from work either, for the same reasons.
I also tried the pre-paid calling card route to hide the fact I was calling local numbers. The card will run out of time just when you need it most. In addition, you can get into trouble if you leave the card hanging around.
Pre-paid cards also have the problem (not all of them) that the phone number the provider sees when you call may not be the number that you are dialing from. Because of this, she may not answer. I've seen more than one provider not answer a call because its not a local areacode or exchange, requiring you to leave a message and wait for a call back from her.
Using pay phones suck as well as providers rarely answer their phone when you want them to and pay phones are few and far (and always gross or broke) in between.
The answer, my RB friends.... Pre-paid cellular phones!
I own a Virgin pre-paid cellular phone. I bought it at Target for around $60.00. No credit card is required to activate it, there's no monthly statement mailed to you. You register the phone via the phone itself or the web. Its has voice mail and can surf the web. It’s a better phone, feature wise than my regular cel!
To re-charge it, you can purchase cards from Target and other places for $10.00, $20.00, etc. amounts. Buy the card, type in the number on the card into the phone and re-charge it. The minutes last for more than a year. The per-minute-cost is somewhat expensive, but then again, how many minutes do you need?
A couple of things with the pre-paid phones for guys with SOs
Pay cash for the re-charge card so it doesn't show up on your monthly statement. You don't want you’re SO asking you what you bought at Target last month when you never go to Target. Also, throw the card away after you use it.
Leave it at work or at the very least, turn off the ringer if you bring it in the house. The reasons are obvious.
In summary,
After struggling with the phone problem for over a year, I finally got one and one big headache with this hobby for me was instantly solved!
Good Luck!

". For some strange reason, though, I can't convince my wife to use it, even when calling her family back east. I'm not sure what's up with that... :(
