What the fekkk ???

55 dollars for 3 minutes is outrageous.
My cousin (vegas) calls me (london) for something around 5 cents a minute.



Suggestion...get/install/join Skype.

"I've got Skype, but I'm too lazy to use it.
I tried it out a coupla times with a few Cyber diver friends of mine, on another website, and it really worked well if:-

1. You both have broadband/High speed internet connection.
2. You both have 'Skype' Accounts and addresses.
3. You both have computers with audio speakers.
4. You both have your computers switched on.

This last bit means you have to Email ahead to arrange call times etc, or luckily fluke a connection.

Skype technology might have improved somewhat in 2 years, but that's what I experienced back then.

Tell you what! Lets all trade our Skype addresses (For those that have it that is) on PSC, and network each other in AUDIO for the very first time! Idea

Then instead of letting our fingers do all the walking, you could have a nice long chat with say Micose on the price of Merlot, or frogs legs! LOL!

BTW: It'd be an idea to just look at the bottom of the 'Forum Page' and see who's online, and THEN give 'em a call Shocked Shocked Shocked

That's my 2c's worth

Very Happy Wiz
