If you’re not using Skype, you’re missing out. It’s how I make all my long distance calls for under $3 bucks a month. It’s how I chat with all my girlfriends, advertisers, and family. Yep, you read that right. $2.95 is all I pay a month for unlimited long distance service to the US and Canada. There are NO other fees I pay. Just the $2.95 a month. CHEAP! OH and I totally use Skype for my iPhone!! When I’m at the airport, I can still chat with the girls so that I’m not missing anything. LOVE IT!
Free services include Skype to Skype chat and voice calls which is VERY nice in itself. Of course my favorite thing is to chat throughout the day with all my girlfriends but there are numerous ways to connect to people and the flexible subscriptions makes it easy & affordable for everyone.
Some of the things I do with my family and friends through Skype is share pictures & files. You can also play games which is fun when you’re bored. I’ve had several conversations with PR folks through Skype as well and for any of you who are on Blog Talk Radio, it’s great to use your headset. You’ll be hands free and you’ll save on long distance fees.
You can use any standard headset to make your calls and the Skype shop has all kinds of gear but if you want to talk in style, you need the Skype FREETALK Wireless Stereo Headset. OH YEAH!
Some features about the headset, valued at $79.99
- * Proprietary technology designed to deliver the highest quality audio clarity.
- * 20Hz~20KHz headphone frequency response.
- * USB Plug- and-Play, no need for complicated pairing or set up, no software installation required.
- * At least 5.5 hours of continuous use per charge.
- * Folds flat for travel.
- * Comfortable padded headband.
- * Easy Microphone mute.
- * Omni directional boom microphone for superior voice for superior voice quality.
- * Up to 15 metres effective range.
This is definitely the BEST way to make calls, video chat, text chat, share files and more AND it’s one of the BEST Ways to save money on your long distance bill! I can’t recommend it enough.

The $2.95 US plan would work great for us. DH has family in Missouri and friends in Orlando, Miami, and Texas. $2.95 is less than we pay for the privilege of having a long distance service!
I would love the a headset, (maybe a webcam, too!) with the unilimited calls in the US.

The piece of gear I’d really love to have would be the Belkin Desktop Internet Phone for Skype, which would be a great addition to the Skype and much-needed replacement for my current desktop phone. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

the internet phone for your desktop sounds useful
Both my husband and I both have parents, other family and friends who live out of state and are scattered all over the US so having Skype sounds fantastic!! The Skype Plan that suits us best is the Unlimited US & Canada $2.95/month, okay, I am wow’d by that amazing price. A product I would love to have that I found on the site is the Philips USB corded phone, another great deal to be found! Thanks so much for the chance to enter.

I like the FREETALK® Buddy Pack
The Unlimited World package would be right for me! I have friends and family members spread out everywhere, so it would be nice to actually get to hear their voices instead of just emailing back and forth.
The Unlimited Country would be a good fit for me.
I would love to have the Logitech Quickcam Orbit web cam.

personally, i have used skype for years. by far the best company on the net to offer internet phone service. if i could chose a product that would serve me well; it would be the belkin desktop phone. my family still isn’t convinced as to how useful and cost effective skype really is; i’d love to put a belkin desktop phone into the living room area for them to use; i used to use skype’s unlimited world subscription to talk to my bf and some friends i’ve made in europe. since then though, prices go up and down a lot since they are always keeping up-to-date; so soon since i am no longer with the guy in europe; i’ll be going with a nice unlimited us & canada plan. $2.99 isn’t a bad price per month but i think i’ll try the 3 month plan if anything; it’s only $8 and some change :)
thanks for posting a useful blog on skype. i’m always looking for other people who love to use skype as much as i do. it really is the best software ever invented. at least in my opinion, lol
