If you have loved ones that live far from home and talking on the phone just doesn’t cut it, I recommend using Skype. It’s a free software that you can download onto your computer that is free, easy to use, and the best part is that you can even see an image of your loved one while you chat. It’s like sitting across the table from the person you are chatting with; It really is the next best thing to seeing them in person.
Skype has been around since 2003 and since then many people from around the world have taken advantage of it. Skype can be used as long as both parties have a high-speed Internet connection. Although you have to pay for Internet, Skype itself is free. It sure beats having to pay outrageously expensive phone bills to talk to friends and family living overseas or even outside of your city.
