The world is a huge place and it’s hard to get from point A to point B without taking a car, bus, train, plane or ship. If you have loved ones in other parts of the world, you probably won’t be able to see or talk to them as often as you’d like. Taking a plane isn’t cheap, but it’s the fastest way to get to your destination when traveling around the world. Not many people can afford to get on a plane every week and spend time with their friends or family, but I know the next best way to stay in touch that you’ll love.

Ok, so maybe this isn’t the same as reaching out and touching someone, but VoIP is a great way to keep in touch with people you can’t see on a regular basis. VoIP is a form of technology that provides for the delivery of voice connections over the Internet Protocol; which is basically voice transmission over the Internet. Skype is a VoIP service where you can see and hear your contacts online and it doesn’t cost you a dime. Powered by Skype, you can talk to your friends and family via your PC and never miss your brother or sister’s new baby, the new family pet, your friend’s new home, or saying goodnight to your wife and children when he is away. a business trip. Of course, to do this, the other person must also have a computer, a webcam, and an Internet connection. Today, you can buy a computer and an Internet connection for less than the cost of a plane ticket. Why not keep in touch every day, and for free, using your PC as your main source of communication?

If your friend or family member doesn’t have a computer, there are great monthly service plans that let you call from your computer to any mobile phone or landline starting at as little as $3 per month. That’s less than the cost of a cup of coffee today. Skype has many other great features and services that enhance your online communication experience.

It amazes me that only 405 million people have taken advantage of this free service provided by Skype. Now you can too.
