My International Communication Just Got That Much Harder
Oct 28th, 2007 by Baz L
One thing that I’ve found especially hard since I’ve move up here is keeping in touch with friends and family back home in Dominica. Yes, there’s always email and there’s alway instant messaging, but sometimes you just need to hear there person’s voice on the other line.
The best solution that I’ve found, so far, was Skype. When I went home on vacation for Christmas of 2005, I decided to hook my Mom up with Skype on her computer. I purchased some credits and even subscribed to a SkypeIN account for her so that I could call her whenever I needed to. This has worked great until yesterday.
I got a call from my mother saying that she’s lost her internet connection for an indefinite amount of time. As such, it’s time to resort back to the old faithful phone cards. The one thing you need to remember about phone cards is that there is always a connection fee when calling internationally. The cards that do say no connection fee simply mean that the card does not charge an additional connection fee. The number of minutes on these cards assume that you use the entire card in one shot. Making multiple calls in the easiest way to kill your card quicker than you intended.
