You may have heard of, Skype, the Internet phone service that is growing across the globe. It’s now the largest phone company in the world, although it’s still fairly unknown in the States. To increase its presence here in America, Skype is offering free service if you sign up now. Under the offer, you can call any phone for free for the rest of the year. Usually, Skype allows people to call from computer to computer for free. But for the rest of the year, you can call landlines, cell phones or any other phone for nothing! Most of the people who use Skype have friends and family overseas because it’s free to talk via computer. But Skype wants to be your long distance provider. There are no catches! Also, a listener tipped Clark off to a Web site he wants you to know about. The site is called callingcards.com, and it tells people the cheapest calling cards for various countries. The problem has been that the cheapest calling card for one country is not the cheapest for another country. You can find the cheapest card for the country you want, but look for “connection fees.” If the card charges one of these, you don’t want it. And don’t buy $100 worth of calls because the company could go under. Just buy a little at a time.
