People can call Skype to Skype for free anywhere in Plantation America or Plantation Canada. It is under $30 a year to make calls to non-Skypers including video calls and it is then under $30 for a phone number.

I have problems with it skipping, but it could be due to my snail-rate DSL. Your computer has to be on to receive calls, but Skype will take messages. I don't understand all of Skype yet and really wish we were big enough for people to talk about Skype equipment like phone adaptors and the travel phone and speaker boxes or maybe even microphones.

Skype is good stuff and was worthy of B&G entry at least, which is now here. I am going to try a microphone and speakerbox rigging here in a minute.

We've taught our friends to Skype. Hubby's companies have always been in Texas, while we live in California. So, the option of online meetings is critical to us. Our friends feel like they have weekly in-person meetings with their grandkids due to Skype - we've set up cameras/microphones for them. It's good stuff.
