Moving to Skype

I’ve known for a long time that Skype is the way to go for direct calling. Even knowing that, I have – for some unexplained reason – just kept paying monthly fees to Time Warner and now Verizon for unlimited calling services. No more.

Had a call with the ass-kicking offshore developers at Sakha this morning, and it was all via Skype. Instant connections, crystal clear, and to INDIA. While I was in it, decided to see just what it would cost to get all set up. Turns out it’s pretty fair. Like REALLY fair. For unlimited national calling and an inbound phone number with voice mail it ends up being around $60 for a YEAR. Compared to $50 a MONTH for Verizon, it ends up being a no brainer.

Goodbye landline.
