I use Skype to chat with my BFF in New Mexico (I live in AL). My son also asks to talk to his Gigi frequently, and she lives up near Chattanooga. Skype has really helped us to stay connected and it's so nice to see their smiling faces while we chat!

I use it to talk to my husband when he's deployed and in a foreign port.

Carolyn Daley

My boyfriend and I use Skype to stay in touch. We also use Skype when we play Titanfall on the PC because game chat does not work very well and speakerphone for three hours drains the cell battery.

Heather Silver

My parents are moving from 30 minutes away to out of state, so we plan to use Skype to keep in touch. I have never used Skype before, but I'm really excited to try it!

Michelle S

It helps me save money calling my husband overseas and not racking up international fees!

A lot of places have WiFi now. It would be nice if it was everywhere. I'm on a limited monthly plan, so I make calls through WiFi whenever I can. I haven't tried Skype, but I know a lot of people are on there so it was time I signed up for it.
