I AM "000 123 456"

I love Skype.

Since we got here, we have been using this program to keep in touch with mostly our family and a couple friends. It allows us to not just send IM's but also use it as a phone almost. As long as the other person has the program we can talk through our computers and use webcams and it's GREAT! Unfortunatly the only people we have been able to talk with.. are people with Skype also. Did I mention we get to talk for FREE!!!!??? awesome.

They have a service where you can pay for minutes to call people from your computer to a telephone for the low low price of .021 cents a minute..thats.... .021 cents a minute!!

Its been great calling the people we haven't talked to in FOREVER. Mostly all friends (about 6 of them), but also my brother, my mom, and Michaels cousin Derrick with all those calls and some lasting as long as 30 minutes, we have only used... 3 dollars!! crazy!

Can't beat that. It's been funny because so far everyone I have talked to I have gotten the same reaction from. First, a "hello" and then I say something, they reply with a "hello??" and then I have to say, "This is Nichole" then there is a big surprised voice on the other end of the line (well with every except my brother because he knew I was calling). Then the surprised voice is followed by a "I had the strangest number on my caller ID and I didn't know who it could be. It says, "000 123 456". Haha, its been entertaining to me.
