Re: [muglo] Tee and Toast

Hi Doug
I have two Skype accounts, one I run on my MacBook Pro and the other  
one on a Phillips standalone phone, no computer needed.

This phone works like a regular landline except you can't make 911  
calls and you don't dial 1 for long distance.

Both accounts allow me to call regular phones, on the Philips phone I  
have $30 or $40 annual cost account that allows unlimited free North  
American calling and I have $15 Skype credit for calling outside North  
America.  Costs about 2¢ a minute to any U.K. number except cell  
number which cost more.  The MacBook Pro just has Skype credits and I  
use it when we stay in hotels to get around the high phone costs  
hotels charge to your bill, I think I originally bought 15 Euros and  
have phoned Canada from Germany several times, made German calls while  
there and let a friend make a 15 minute call to New York City from  
Germany.  The quality is comparable to cell phones.  The credits you  
buy don't expire as long as you make at least one call every 6 months.
