I can hardly believe it, but our day´s technology has so many advantages. I just listened to a conference call for 98 minutes and it didn´t cost me one single cent in phone bill.
On the box it said the call was free. So if this continues, the $10 I put in for calling will probably last very long..
Well, this opens a great possibility of communicating with our friends over the Atlantic Ocean and over all the world.
The cost to call mobile phones and some countries may still be higher than 0.00 but most times a lot cheaper than ordinary phone costs.
Nice talking to you all, my friends.

Yes, we´ll see if and when they start charging for it, but they can´t be too ecpensive as there is so much competition among the phone sevices.
Always new things are coming up.. Let´s see what comes next..

I haven't heard this one yet until now but I really think that mobile phone era is going to a near end. I know that I might sound crazy or stupid but I have this picture of the future where everybody is just bringing with them a mobile device, not a phone, more like a PDA , that has all cool features including wifi, and the world will be a wifi zone and everybody can make use of it to make voice calls or send messages. I know how it sounds, but I still think that this is highly possible, with the rate of evolution on technology and mobile phones now. I wouldn't be surprised if a company will make a bold and great move on PDA investment soon.

The technology goes so fast nowadays, that when we buy something we think is new, it is old when we walk out of the shop..
Communication seems to be very important for us human beings.. Better not buy the latest, why not wait and see what comes next year or so..

I must have missed something, because this is the first I've heard of this new service. I might have to try it sometimes. I still use an older computer (refurb, still uses Windows XP but it does what I need it to do) and need to buy a microphone for it. Might be a great way to keep up with friends all over the world.

Yeah, I like it - it can be worth a try! Especially for long distance calls!
