Skype

For those of you who don't know what Skype is, here's the definition: Skype is a software application that allows users to make voice and calls over the Internet. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free, while calls to both traditional landline telephones and mobile phones can be made for a nominal fee using a debit-based user account system. Skype has also become popular for their additional features which include instant messaging, file transfer and video conferencing.

We started using Skype a few years ago when Jody's Mamaw was very sick with cancer and we were not able (due to her chemotherapy & the kiddos germs) to see her in person! It was a great way for her to see her great-grandchildren and talk to them! Since moving to Georgia it has enabled my parents as well as other friends to see and talk to the kiddos LIVE!!! The dowload is free, all you do is setup a username/password, account info, then add contacts and you are all set! Some of our friends have even used this while overseas! What a great way to stay in touch and virtually free (you use your internet connection)!!! Click here to dowload Skype :)
