You’ve drooled over her MySpace pictures and all those JPGs she
sent. You’ve sent her gift after gift from her Amazon wishlist. You’ve
been charmed by her instant-message malapropisms. Now, all you want to
do is hear her voice. (Well, maybe that’s not ALL
you want to do, but it’s all we can help you with.) Problem is, how can
you afford long-distance calls to the Philippines when all your spare
scratch goes to her salmon steaks and Prada bags?
Easy. You buy this two-pack of Atcom Voice Over IP (VoIP) USB
phones, send her one, and sign you both up for a VoIP service like
Skype or Vonage. As the kütting-ëdge early adopters know, calls from
one VoIP user to another don’t incur per-minute charges no matter where
in the world that other IP is. Sure, there’s a monthly fee, but it’s a
lot cheaper than airfare to Quezon City. And even if hers gets lost in
the mail, you can call her land or cell phone for way cheaper rates
than the usual.
But maybe, unlike the typical Woot member,
your romantic needs are taken care of by someone who lives in the same
city as you. Well, aren’t you special? You can still use VoIP as a
supplement to your cell line, so you don’t have to burn those valuable
daytime minutes. You can take your VoIP phone with you on business
trips and check in with home base for cheap. Or you can use a VoIP
phone to impress everyone with your rad futuristic approach to daily
life. All you need is a USB port, a account
with one of the many VoIP providers that this phone can sync with (not
included, see list below), and a forward-thinking sense of possibility.
Or a MySpace girlfriend and a small bank account.
