Skype is great, and not hard to use. You can purchase unlimited calling in the US for one year, for $30 for the entire year. Overseas calls are just pennies a minute, often just one or two cents a minute, depending on the country..=20 You must first download the client from www.skype.com Then, go to the web site and establish an account. You can also establish a user name and account from within the program. You must then purchase Skype Out credits. Calls from PC to Pc are of course free, but calls from your PC to a phone are charged at very very low rates. So, after you purchase a block of Skype Out credits, you are then able to make calls in the US or of course overseas as well. The program works well with Jaws and Window-Eyes. -----Original Message----- From: real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of William Stephan Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 10:17 AM To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [real-eyes] Skype All: I'm thinking about subscribing to Skype,, in order to save on overseas long distance charges.
