We just started using Skype. My brother told us about it about 4 years
ago but at that time you could only call other people who had Skype
software installed. Now they have a plan that will let you call anyone
in the US and Canada (yes- cellphones and landlines included) for just
$3.00 per month. You can also purchase a wireless Skype Phone that
works just like a cordless phone (between $30-$100). You will have to
purchase a phone number through them but it only costs $12.00/year. The
drawback is that they issue you the number but will allow you to choose
the area code in your area if available. No matter though it is still a
fantastic deal. Total per month works out to be about $4.00
