Reach out and Skype Someone!
Skype is a great way to keep in touch for less. Download the software, put on your headset, plug into your computer and you can talk from one Skype-connected computer to another for free. Yes, I said Free. If you want to call a regular phone or a cell phone, you can upload your Skype account with money and call out for about 2 cents per minute. I got interested for my son and his friends at various colleges. Keeps down the cell bills. Self preservation on my part. I love it myself! Give it a whirl.
