I know I’ve talked about Skype www.skype.com before. I’m not the biggest user at home – but I love it when I’m in Ireland. My new favorite thing is that I can forward my Skype phone number to a landline (or cell phone). So my Twin Cities number now rings through to the house where I’m staying in Dublin. I love it because the quality of the call is more like a regular call – less like a Skype call.

I think I paid about $50 a year. When I look at my account it seems as if the number has elapsed, but it still works. For $50 a year I think I’m going to have this number forward to my mother-in-law when we go – then it’s super cheap calls for the rest of the year.
