Phone Home From Mexico

If you have a Facebook account, Myspace page, Squidoo lens, and constantly check your RSS feeds, this isn't for you, as you already know about Skype.

Skype is a great piece of free software that turns your computer into a functioning telephone. Who cares? You do...if you plan on traveling to Mexico (or anywhere else for that matter).

Click here to see how you can call home from Mexico for pennies!

Phoning th US from your hotel in Mexico is prohibitively expensive. With Skype, it's pennies a minute. AND, if you call someone that also has Skype, the call is FREE!

With many of the newer hotels in Riviera Nayarit, free wi-fi access is part of their offerings. Meaning that those of you that regularly travel with a wi-fi enabled notebook computer, now have the ability to lay poolside, staring out over Bandaras Bay, and phone home for pennies a minute.

Skype on the beach

I had my laptop w/me @ the RIU in Cabo and worked unbelievably. My girlfriend heard a bird in the background while I was talking.

Riu Vallarta

I just got back from the Riu Vallarta. The only wi-fi was in the sports bar. That was a bummer. Anyway, the Skype worked fine there. I let some old ladies that were playing cards call home. What a hoot!

Skype

I agree....it's great! I even use it at home for all international calls

It's REALLY true

If anyone doesn't believe us, I can't blame them. I didn't either. I signed up for the first time and figured at worst, I'd blow $5. It was the best $5 I ever spent.
