Hello Nelisa 😊

I am not sure what you are asking has to do with TravelBlog. Would you explain it a bit more.

Hi Mell,

Yes, Skype is most relevant to travel, it saved me a fortune on my last trip to North America. My family and friends who are on Skype were able to see when I was online, and then ring me so we could talk.

And from my end, whilst travelling. my computer thinks I am still at home. And because I have purchased a Skype country wide plan, was able to call their home phones for free, no matter where I was, and whether they were online or not. It also allowed me to call any other number, such as my bank, when I had a query. Thus allowing me to keep up with all affairs back home.

Yeah! I would say, Skype is very relevant to the budget traveller.

Skype is incredible.You can even have it on your mobile phone and talk for free to anyone else on Skype.It is a good idea to carry a headphone/microphone headset.Most Bakpakers n hotels have Skype but not all have headsets.They are quite cheap. Reply to this

Yep, the only way I have contact with my love when he is away and my family back to Hungary is Skype. When I lived in China I did used IPcards to call, but it's always difficult when you have emergencies.... I don't know what I would without it... Reply to this
