Whether you are living away from home, on holidays or travelling, one of the most important things on your agenda is to contact your loved ones. For many years this seemingly simple task remained pretty difficult. The idea of a long distance phone call used to be a scary thought! Twenty years ago you may have found yourself feeding endless amounts of the local currency into hungry phone booths. Later, phone cards arrived. Unfortunately, their fixed rates and high tariffs were far from competitive. Ten years ago the spread of internet meant that email was all the rage. The only problem was that you had to pay stiff hourly rates in a "cyber-internet" cafe in order to send a witty travel letter to your cousin (as they were the only on in the family to have and email account).
Today the possibilities are endless. Inexpensive internet connection rates and broadband means that almost everyone can avail of voice over internet dial-up services such as the easy to use Skype to call ordinary phones and landlines anywhere in the world from your computer for €0.017, that's less than 2 cents!! with SkypeOut. All you need is a PC, internet connection, headset and then sign up and buy your credit at www.skype.com
