Skype
Are expensive phone calls taking a bite out of your budget? We've got a way to call friends around the world for free! It's called Skype.
Don Albert, VP and General Manager for Skype North America
"Skype is a great way to use your computer and the internet to make free video and voice calls to any other Skype user anywhere in the world."
The service won't cost you anything.
Don Albert, VP and General Manager for Skype North America
"You simply go to download Skype for free at skype.com, register, plug in a headset and hit the green button to make your first call."
Bridget Lynch is taking full advantage of the free phone calls.
Bridget Lynch, Skype User
"I think it's a fantastic service."
She talks with friends back in Ireland without spending a penny.
Bridget Lynch, Skype User
"I use Skype everyday to connect with somebody. It just makes communicating and connecting with my friends very affordable. And you can stay on five minutes or two hours, it's no charge."
The only catch, the people you are calling also have to be Skype users. If they're not, you can still use the service to call cell phones or landlines, but there's a small fee.
Now that makes cents.
