I downloaded Skype almost a year ago, I think. I haven't used it much, because the only people that I know that are Skype users live on the other side of the planet, so when I might want to talk, they are sound asleep because it is the middle of the night for them.
For the most part Skype isn't much different that any of the other Instant Messengers. They have video and voice chat options. They also have the availability to purchase credits to make and receive phone calls to regular telephones and mobile phones.
Well, yesterday they announced that until the end of the year you can call any phone number in the U.S. or Canada for free! That's amazing!
Whe I received the announcement, I immediately had to try it out, and sure enough... it worked. I called my house from my computer at school. Then when I got home I had to call my own phone from my computer at home, just to talk to myself. Then I called my mom. She said that she couldn't even tell that I was calling from my computer.
Anyway, feel free to give me a call from your computer to mine through Skype.
That's cool!

my mom talks to her mom every saturday morning on skype. it makes it hard to sleep in, cuz my g-ma thinks that because she lives so far away she has to speak louder to be heard all the way from colombia. i manage somehow.
