Into The VoIP
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 two of these USRobotics USB Skype phones, send her one, and sign you both up for a VoIP service from Skype. 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 Skype account, and a forward-thinking sense of possibility. Or a MySpace girlfriend and a small bank account.
