skype

it's pretty cool. internet telephony. pretty good voice quality. free internet to internet calling. you can pay a small fee for a real phone number assignment that people can dial to call you (about $30 a year) and voicemail service. you can also pay a small fee to make outgoing calls to real phone numbers (2 cents a minute, which isn't bad). it's like a pay-as-you-go service to replace a voice landline if you have one.

i'm thinking of getting on this so i can save a few bucks by downgrading my cellphone plan and use skype whenever i'm in my apt.

skype me. wvuong.
