It is cheaper than using his cell, though it does come with a strange echo and hiccup type of pause every so often. If we both happen to be on at the same time we can take advantage of the free video conference mode on the computer. Not sure if I like it enough to pay for it though.srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-54857239055847616742009-09-02T04:10:43.939-04:002009-09-02T04:10:43.939-04:00Seems like a good deal for Ebay.

I only have a home phone because it came with my cable/net package. My cell keeps me happy, and I don't want video on my phone. I like being able to chat in my underwear, pick my nose and/or visit the loo -- and do a host of other things I likely wouldn't do if someone were watching.Quillyhttp://quilldancer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-69721491797076867082009-09-01T19:16:48.116-04:002009-09-01T19:16:48.116-04:00Oh and the Nigerian overlords bit?

I was in the process of making plans to meet someone tomorrow who's leaving on a rather long road trip in the morning and passing through my little burg around dinner time. And we kinda needed to hammer out meeting plans and such. What? the ... phone. <br /><br />Oh yeah. Guess that would work too.Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-3491991850134118612009-09-01T18:53:34.142-04:002009-09-01T18:53:34.142-04:00I downloaded skype on my computer...that's whe...I downloaded skype on my computer...that's where it stopped. I might use it if it meant better(read cheaper) communication between me and my travelling sweetheart...but he's been away too much lately to look into it.<br /><br />I couldn't check my gmail and I was pretty sad...but I thought it was my phone's fault until I got home and realised it was the server...no important business on my gmail so I was ok once I realised my brand new phone was ok.<br /><br />BreezeCarolyn R.

There are other forms of having a video chat with distant family and friends...<br /><br />I only got it though as I might be going to work in Doha, and telecommunication charges are hideous to say the least! Let me exlain... In July, I made two international calls from Australia, one to Doha (1:34sec) and the other to the London, UK (3:47sec). Here's the thing, the Doha call was $5.34 whilst the UK call was only $1.95!!!! Go figure!<br /><br />AussiePomm (Bernie)AussiePommhttp://aussiepomm.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-61133294472147019272009-09-01T18:03:50.703-04:002009-09-01T18:03:50.703-04:00LOL..You are too funny.
