I love Skye

I have had Skype Unlimited for a couple of months now. It is really sweet. I went to Phoenix for a week and took my computer. ---my desktop--
Once I was hooked up to the internet I hopped on Skype and called. It was great, the place I was staying did not have a land line but it did not matter to me.

When I got home it was the same story. As soon as I was hooked up to DSL I was making calls.

I paid $30 for one years access to outgoing calls with Skype Unlimited.

That is less than one month for a land line.

Voip 911 Calls

Voip 911 calls can be a problem. Here is a simple solution if your Voip phone cannot call 911

Voip 911 calls can be an Issue

Voip uses your high speed internet access to make phone calls. Talking through your computer. Your computer, laptop may be hooked up to the internet almost anywhere. The Voip phone system may not be able to hook you up with your local 911. Skype is not set up to hook you up to your local 911 exchange. There have been reports of people not being able to get ahold of 911 with a regular phone hooked up to their computer. This could be dangerous.??

The Voip 911 Calls Solution

If you are using a normal landline type of phone for Voip in your home put the 911 information on your handset.

Write the phone number of the local police department and the address of the phone. Tape this to the back of the handset. In an emergency if a visitor has to call for an ambulance that information on the handset will be really handy.

Dialing 911 will not work on a lot of the Voip phone systems.

Here is a picture of the Voip 911 Calls Solution.

TracfoneTips - Skype Unlimited

The coolest part about Skype is the ability to call skype to skype without using any minutes for free.

TracfoneTips - Skype Free

Skype Free

Skype has a lot of different levels of Voip Programs. Voip uses high speed internet access to make phone calls. Talking through your computer.

 

This is the basic free service. Download the Skype software and install it and you can talk through your computer with almost anyone in the world who has high speed access and Skype.

You can talk to anyone else who has Skype for free.

This works really well. Many people are able to keep in touch with their children, grandkids, girlfriends, whatever with high speed access and headphones.

To make mine work I bought the headphones shown below, downloaded Skype--less than a minute, installed the software, picked a name and password and was ready. Then I bought the $30 unlimited outgoing calls plan and I started calling. If you are calling other people who have Skype already you do not need to pay or put money on your account.

Sophisticated Equipment

This basic headphone cost $18.95 at a discount store. They are available at Target, Radio Shack, Wall-mart almost anywhere that sells electronics.

You can buy a box to plug into a USB port in your computer that will allow you to plug your normal land line phone phone into it. This can make your VoIP phone experience nearly the same as your regular land line.

Call ordinary phones anywhere in the world from your computer for the price of a local call with SkypeOut from http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2477921-10386654?sid=TT+Skype+Voip
