Our grandma is no longer calling us on the phone...

... because she now has:



You have probably heard of skype. An internet telephony network, that is absolutely free no matter where in the world you are, if you and the other participant are signed up with skype. The coolest thing however is that you can also see the person you are talking to if they have a webcam or a video camera hooked up to their computer. This is great if you have family far away and want to show off the kids once in a while.



It is really easy to install - our grandparents just did it. Things are still a bit blurry and of course a visit in person is always much nicer.

You can also call regular telephones from your skype account. Their international rate is very low ($0.021/minute) and full year of unlimited calls to any phone in the US and Canada is just US$14.95 till January 31st.
Quick - that's today!!
