I've been using Skype for about 2 weeks now. Don't know what it is? It's a free download! Internet telephone service. I've called the USA from Tokyo and talked probably 20 hours in the past 2 weeks....for free!!! Of course the people I've been talking to also have skype loaded in their computers. But, I've made calls to others who don't have skype and the calls cost me less than 2 cents/minute!!! So, not only is the service free but, the sound quality is 1000% better than on traditional phone lines. I was told recently that there are posters in the USA, asking for donations so the US military members in Iraq can call home to their families. I sure hope someone tells the government about SKYPE!
