| It wouldn't work for everyone, but for long distance I use my cell phone (if I have the minutes) and Skype. With Skype, I can use the internet to talk to anyone else who is signed up (it's free). They also have very cheap prices to call a telephone number. The downside is that you need to have a fast internet connection. My sister and I both have fast internet and we are both signed up. So if I need to call her, I'll use the cell phone to say "I'm going to Skype you" and then we both get on the computer and chat as long as we want free. It's not a substitute for regular phone service, but it saves me a lot of money in long distance calls. |
