We have been fans and users of Skype for a long time. For those who haven’t used the great Skype, what are you waiting for? For blogoholics it is a must. It’s FREE unlimited computer to computer calling, and more.
Type and surf the net while you talk. You can even have an online conference call or a video call. We recently chatted up a storm with the CondoBlogger Boys. You can also IM, leave voice messages, forward calls and create a contact list for speed dialing. You can even see if you missed a call. All calls from your computer to a fellow Skyper on their computer are totally FREE. No limits. Talk till the cows come home.
For the past year, Skype has also allowed free calls from your computer to cell and land line phones. That will end on December 31, 2006. But not to worry. For a meager $14.95 per year, you can continue to make unlimited calls from your computer to any phone in the United States and Canada. Skype to Skype calls (computer to computer) will remain FREE. Offer ends 1/31/07.
See all Skype features here. Get Skype here. Then call to say hello.
NOTE: If your computer does not have a built-in microphone, or you want some privacy, get a headset.
i have been using skype from a long time and found ts very clear and undisrupted…
Although Skype has been around for years, and used by millions, we are surprised there are many who have not tried it yet. What’s neat is that you know when your contacts are online to accept a call, unless they set Skype for “do not disturb” or invisible.
Great information! Roberta Murphy down in Southern CA, used this service while she was vacationing in China and found it to be great! I have yet to use it but thanks for the reminder!
Yup, we are “skypedicted”! (is this possible)?
I think I’ll call a blogger in China just for the heck of it
Hey we just got Skyped from a young lady in Poland. Well, I guess we wont get into that here… (but if you turn your skype smily into a “Skype Me Smile” you will have an interesting day
The world is not as small as we think
I’ve had several people recommend the service to me, but just never bothered to give it a try since I get free long distance on my cell phone. If you call overseas much, I think there would be a huge benefit to giving it a try.
