Talk is Cheap

Friday June 12, 2009
Ah, the rewards of international business travel: jet lag, communication difficulties, and those astronomical cell phone charges to home that neither I - nor my company's accounting department - want to pay for. Enter Skype to the rescue, my favorite mode of staying in touch with home when I’m on the road. After easily downloading the free software, Skype lets you talk to anyone else with a Skype connection without long distance charges, making family members – and that bean counter in accounting – happy.

Skype is certainly a saver! Don’t forget that you can use Skype out at very reasonable rates to nearly any phone in the world.
