You've got me at it now. I am boring everybody I meet now with the beauty of Skype. Working in Covent Garden yesterday, so off to TCR to splash £12 on a headset. Back to the place I was working for the day, onto their open wireless network and sat with laptop talking to sister-in-law in New York. Amazing. Email search brought up a guy that works for me in Spain who has no landline (too remote) but does have satellite internet. Two minutes later we were chatting for free. Amazing.
Oh yes, and if you want to sneak off abroad for a long time, you can get an 020 7 number and appear to still be in the centre of the City. Teeeee heeee.......
If you are on Orange, 330 gives free redirection to a landline, so hop on that plane, 330 to your Skype landline, and leave your laptop connected wherever you may land. Can't be bad. Beats having a Blackberry!
