Skype Free Call

     Yesterday, my boss told me he has some business to attend to abroad. He'll be in Canada for a month. So he said, "We can always talk through Skype." And I simply nodded.
     He looked at me suspiciously, "Do you know Skype?" he asked.
     "I've heard about it -but I don't have one yet."
     "Well, get your Skype. Okay?"

     Obviously, we need to Skype eventually. Even Manny Pacquiao uses Skype. We've all seen his Pacquiao-Mosley post-fight interviews on the night news via Skype video call.
     Those who travel a lot uses Skype. Why? Because it's a cool thing! It allows you to call people anywhere in the world for FREE. We all know how expensive long distance and overseas calls are. Even cellphone texts can be heavy on the pocket when you're abroad.
     We can chat with internet, also for free -but nothing beats communication aided with sound and vision. Skype allows this sort of virtual meeting through the internet for free. You just have to install Skype to your PC, laptop, cellphone, or ipad and get your Skype Name. You call your friends, family, and contact through their Skype Name as well.

     According to Wikipedia: Skype is a software application that allows users to make voice calls and chats over the Internet. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free, while calls to both traditional landline telephones and mobile phones can be made for a fee using a debit-based user account system. Skype has also become popular for its additional features which include instant messaging, file transfer, and video conferencing. Skype has 663 million registered users as of 2010. On May 10, 2011, it was reported that Microsoft had completed an agreement to acquire Skype for $8.5 billion.
