Email me (ssfoottit@gmail.com) your skype name? Or add me :P<br /><br />We rely on skype so much. We used to do calling cards too because a lot of fam in South-Africa don't have internet, but we've convinced them all now. So Saturday and Sunday nights have become skype the family nights :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456752655088477702.post-84912451557718722102010-05-28T14:07:58.241+10:002010-05-28T14:07:58.241+10:00So crazy flatmate used to use skype all the time t...So crazy flatmate used to use skype all the time to talk to friends in england using her computer. possibly in webcam mode as well. Not knowing anyone overseas I really had a need to talk to and having unlimited domestic calls never saw a point to skype for myself.<br /><br />Then when in Germany bank kept sending emails/texts saying I had to call them (should have told them I was going overseas whoops!) Didn't want card cut off so had to call, but didn't want to pay EXORBITANT roaming fees. Asked mate in Germany if he had skype on his computer I could use suddenly remembering it's apparent cheap calling possibilities.<br /><br />While doing so, was pointed out that there's a skype iphone app, so skype + iphone + wifi = cheap phonecall, using your phone! Means you already have speakers and mikes in sensible places and aren't yelling at your computer like some kind of crazy person.<br /><br />If you haven't yet, install skype on your iphone it's great!<br /><br />Also meant while sitting bored in Singapore airport for 3 hours (which has free wifi) could call people to pass the time too :)Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540800873705545068noreply@blogger.com
