So I’m in Toronto. I want to talk to my family. Since I can’t afford roaming charges this time I bought some Skype minutes to use while I was away from home. To call home (California/US) from Toronto Canada was about 2.5 cents a minute. I’ve used Skype for video calls – computer to computer – but finding my family isn’t always easy so I bought minutes this time.
I wasn’t expecting much. The call was going from my comptuer over hotel Wi-Fi, from Canada to the US, and then accross the country to my home phone in California. The call quality was great. There were one or two momentary sound quality issues, but my neither my wife or kids noticed.
The only thing i wish I had done was try the call from Skype on my iPhone. Tried that at home before I left, it worked, but the true test is when I’m away from home. Maybe next year when I head to Toronto again.
