At first you may have to do some explaining to get Ma and Pa to wrap their heads around Skype… as it is straight out of a sci-fi movie. But once they’ve had their first experience, seeing their beloved child’s face while he or she calls – from perhaps thousands of miles away from home - you can guarantee they’re gonna be hooked! Skype offers many different solutions to help people communicate easier and for less money. Even if your Mom is committed to analog, Skype makes it easy and affordable for you to call her landline from your computer (all for the ridiculously low charge of $2.95 a month).

Now you can afford to just call to say I Love You… anytime.
