Skype: Save Money on Your Phone Bill!

I started using Skype to save money on my phone bill a few months ago and I couldn't be happier. The call quality is good, it's super-cheap and the Skype software helps easily manage my contacts!

What does it cost?
Well, you can get unlimited calls to anyone in the US and Canada for only $29.95 per year!
Or, if you prefer paying by the minute, you can use Skype to call anywhere in the US for only two cents a minute.

How does it work?
Skype is a VOIP service, which stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol. It's a fancy way of saying that you talk through your computer.

Do I have to use a headset?
No! There are a wide array of internet phones and adapters that you can use with Skype. One well-regarded one is the Nexoteq Smart USB Skype phone; it looks and operates like a traditional telephone, but allows you to take advantage of low-cost VOIP technology.



Don't want to buy a new phone? The Eforcity Phone Adapter is a very popular (and high rated - 5 stars on Amazon) Skype adapter. The Adapter connects your phone to your computer, and allows you to use your own favorite wired or cordless phone with Skype. Installation is a snap, too.
