Do You Skype?

Now that I'm (almost) rid of a monthly cell phone bill I need a less expensive option for long distance calls than using our land line provider. Mr. Irony discovered Skype when we first started dating and switched over to this service for all long distance. He determined that it saved him several hundreds of dollars in long distance charges during the course of our long-distance relationship.

The vast majority of family that I care to talk to are now long distance for me to call. This is where Skype comes in. I have the option of paying as I go or paying a monthly fee of $2.95 to make computer to land line calls. If I were to call other Skype users it would be free of charge.

I'm downloading it today and we'll see how it goes. I'll keep you informed as I learn more about the service.
