Last year someone gave me a phone number with a recording of Santa Claus telling them each day up until Christmas what he was doing to get ready for Christmas. It was fun to watch my kids listen to his message each day. Best of all it was a 800 number so it was free. Well I have been looking for some kind of number just like last year. I have every expensive number on the internet. One website was tryiing to charge 34.95 for a phone call from a live Santa and not a recording. The call would be neat but who has that kind of money for a 5 minute phone call. Does anyone know of a number that is free of charge . I greatly appreciate you'll listening.

Contacting Santa May Be A Free Phone Call Away
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) ― Updates on Santa's Christmas preparations and climactic sleigh ride will be just a phone call away this weekend, courtesy of a Silicon Valley firm that specializes in voice recognition and mobile search technology.

Dial 1-800-555-8355 and say "Santa" to hear the latest from the North Pole as Santa gears up for his annual journey around the world. The phone service will begin tracking Santa's journey across the United States beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday, no matter the time zone.

The reports are customized for all 50 states; the system automatically determines which recording to play based on the caller's area code.

Santa's elves, Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer are among the cast of characters expected to provide the phone updates.

The free service is being provided by Tellme Networks Inc., a Mountain View-based company that provides a variety of high-tech services to phone carriers with more than 40 million customers combined.

I just wanted to thank you the last website was a free phone call from Santa. It says central time so my kids got the phone call about an hour after I put the times in. They were excited. I missed it of course because I was a work. My DH was with them. I also sent one to my niece. It was great. My niece hit *69 and got the number , she called him back on her sisters cell phone. The number came up New York. She is 7. She kept asking her mom why she couldn't get back through. Then she decided that Santa was in New York to see the Christmas windows at Macy's , so he was to busy to ask the phone.

I wish my kids still believed in Santa it would be nice to have them get that call. One year for Christmas my hubby had a guy from his work call the kids and pretend to be Santa, they just loved that and couldn't believe Santa found them at their Aunts house...lol
