Good afternoon, Kathy. Recently a friend of mine said he was going down to Lima, Peru (we live in US). I told him about Skype. He install it add prepaid for SkypeOut credit. From his hotel room in Lima, he called my cell phone every day with no charge to me, and with a cost per minute deducted from his credit. Of course, we also did live video from his computer to my computer for free. Another advantage using Skype: Our last big earthquake hit near where I work. Cell phones went out. Got throght to my wife on Skype to let her know that I was OK. I always run Skype (minimized) on my N800.
