Skype (http://www.skype.com/) is a really cool service I recently installed on my computer. With Skype you can call anyone in the world that also has Skype installed on the computer. The sound quality is good – of course you would want a broadband connection to use it.
Skype is a little program for making free calls over the internet to anyone else who also has Skype. It’s free and easy to download and use, and works with most computers.
What if your friend doesn’t have a computer. For a very low rate you can call from your computer to any regular phone number. Skype calls this Skypeout. For a complete list of rates visit http://www.skype.com/products/skypeout/rates/all_rates.html.
