I am looking for royalty free, or low cost images of women on the phone. 

I need to use them in our printed in-house magazine.

As it has a very limited circulation, there is no way I can afford the
usual $50+ licence fee.

iStockphoto provides a huge selection of very  low cost images of
women on the phone.


?iStockphoto is the world?s fastest growing royalty-free stock
photography community. iStock images are available through a credit
system that allows you to purchase images individually or in bulk
discount for the starting rate of just $1.00 each.?
http://www.istockphoto.com/introduction.php

?iStockphoto works on a system of micro-payments, which allows you to
purchase images in quantity. Images cost between 1 to 3 credits per
download, depending on the file type and image resolution. Credits
start at $1.00 each, and a minimum purchase of $10 is required.?

I searched through their collection and assembled a list of the best
images of women on the phone.

Thanks for the answers. I was looking for more than 2 sites as to why
I posted this question at a reasenable rate. To save you time, is it
possible just to give me the site url instead of the indavidual image?
sorry to be a pain!

I went to order some pic's of the 1st site you gave me and came across
this in the agreement...

You may not modify, publish, transmit, transfer or sell, reproduce,
create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display, reverse
engineer or in any way exploit any of the Content, in whole or in
part, except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Membership
Agreement and any other agreement entered into at the time such
Content was downloaded (such as a Content License Agreement).

Does this mean I can not publish these pics in my magazine?

Please advise.

Thanks!

I sent off an email to iStockphoto asking if publishing these photos
in a magazine is permitted and I'll let you know as soon as they
reply.

Thanks,
Bobbie7
