Skype is a Voice Over Internet system that is FREE when calling fellow members, anywhere in the world. Membership is free also.

We set it up with one of our daughters a couple weeks ago, and it seems to work just fine.

No more cell minutes, and no more long distance when we talk to her.

Both parties have to be on the net at the same time is the only drawback we see.

You can use it to call non-members, but there is a nominal charge. We don't intend to use that feature, so I don't know how you would be billed.

I'm just a new and so far satisfied user, not affiliated with Skype in any way, and make no claim to its suitability to your particular needs.
