Call Your Mother...

Saturday May 9, 2009
Any time's a good time to call your mother, but Mother's Day (May 10) is an especially excellent occasion, even if the call is of the dialing for dollars nature. It's also a good opportunity to learn how to get hooked up with a Skype account, or some VoIP solution, for cheap international phone calls. You can also pick up calling cards for ten bucks in most countries, buy an international calling card before you leave home, or rent a GSM international phone for use abroad. Just don't use your US cell phone outside the US -- way too spendy.
