Are you sick of phone bills, cell plans, phone bill add-ons? There is a cheaper way to make calls.

If you’re an international small business person, instead of getting a global calling plan or even international phone cards, turn on your computer, download Skype for FREE, and make your contacts. Skype will allow you to transmit documents, video conference, and leave voice mail all for FREE.

If you are just an at-home person needing to make calls to family and friends, as long as your contacts have a computer with speakers and a microphone and have downloaded Skype, you can talk to them—even send them pictures—for NO COST. If they do not have a web cam (either built-in or attached to their computers), you can still talk to them with just voice over the computer, like a regular phone. You can even forward Skype calls to their land-lines.

If you’re a teacher and have internet connections in your classroom, you can use Skype, again for FREE, in a variety of ways. Foreign language teachers can talk with native speakers, students can “broadcast” interviews or off-site projects into the classroom, and teachers can parent conference or share information with students who are sick at home.

For MINIMUM cost you can get more. For $2.95 a month—yes, that’s all— with Skype you can make unlimited calls to any landline or mobile phone (no computer involved) in both the U.S. and Canada. For $12.95 a month, you can do the same in 40 different countries. Plus receive a 15% discount on 12-month subscriptions.
