No need to talk by phone....

I found a "messenger" thingy that allows you to talk through internet at no phone bill charge EVER!! you just need to download it, have a microphone in your comp, and if you want a web cam.

it´s called SKYPE

it´s really cool, i´ve been using it since my sister got to Canada and that´s how me and my parents talk to her without phone bills going to the roof.

I use Vonage 30.00cdn unlimited calls anywhere in north america. for an extra 7.00cdn you can have phone # in other cities/countries

We have an Ottawa & a Mississauga #. anyone in those citities can call us local. Call forwarding is free. We have our vonage #'s forwarded to its self & to our cell phones. So we always get our home calls

Skype is amazing...SO clear. I use it to talk to my relatives overseas. The new Yahoo Messenger has a really clear voice chat service too though. Not AS clear as Skype...Skype's so clear is beats regular phone lines, but its still very clear. I don't know anyone with Skype other than a few relatives, so I use Yahoo Messenger to 'talk' to everyone else. Its amazing how advanced internet is getting.
