DISQUS

Julie · 1 year ago

I'm a big fan of Skype and can't understand why it hasn't caught on more in the US. When I'm on the road I stay in touch with my family using Skype (which has new video features in a version released last week). It's a blessing for remote work; just today I interviewed someone in the US while using Skype in Mexico.

The fact of the matter is, Skype is easier and cheaper than figuring out which cell phone would work in the places where I travel without being price-prohibitive or a major pain to switch out chips.

I echo Julie on Skype. I am currently working remotely from Stockholm and couldn't do it without Skype.

Even my extension number in the US gets redirected to Skype on my laptop so a lot of colleagues don't even know I'm out of the country!

I am a big advocate of skype! It's great to keep in touch with people, and it keeps my parents happy knowing they can still see my face where ever I am.

I think cell phones are great as they allow you to stay in touch with the other travelers you meet more easily.

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.
