I was wondering how that would work. That can come in quite handy when you are in another country and can't use your cell phone. Hopefully, this will help other people too. Carole   John D.

You don't see the other person when calling to a phone. Typically calls are 2 cents per minute but can vary by country and phone type.   Carole G Intermediate Member Username: Greengal Post Number: 65 Registered: 01-2010 Posted From: 68.205.151.181 Posted on Saturday, April 24, 2010 - 07:37 pm:    Exactly how does Skype work as a phone? Do you prepay and how much does it cost to make calls in USA or in Europe? You don't see the person you are calling do you? We use Skype to call our grandchildren in Guam and we see them for their birthdays, etc. Thanks for your help.

If we needed to call back to the kids for whatever reason, what is the best way? If calling cards are a good option, could we get reccomendation from someone?
