Using Skype to Conference Call
I use Skype to phone home to my family in the UK and I’ve always been very pleased with it. Not just because of the good service but also the good rates per minute. It’s a very cheap call and means that I can call from my computer to my Mum’s phone and afford to have frequent, lengthy conversations.
It’s actually even cheaper if it’s from one computer to another because it’s free to use in that way but today I tried the conference call facility to have a three way conversation with two of my daughters. Hannah in England and Sarah in Edmonton, Alberta. We were all using our computers so it didn’t cost us anything and we were able to have a very relaxed and enjoyable conversation between the three of us for around two hours. It felt like we were all in the same room and we actually haven’t been for a couple of years or so.
So it was a great way for all three of us to be catching up at the same time and definitely something we’ll do again soon.

It was surprising how the three of us could have a conference call through Skype, and have it feel like we were in the same room. Mum is even talking about using it
