Well, that sucks.

I still use Skype whenever I’m calling internationally to my mother’s land line. I still have $9 in credits.

Skype is also a life saver when you’re abroad and need to call a US 1-800 number.



Or in my experience, testing out some slight mis-dial 1-800 numbers to see what kind of fraud they take me to without it linking back to me).

It’s fun: take the number on the back of your credit card or an airline and see what happens when you’re a number off or dial 800 instead of 888.

(How big companies manage to get an 888 number while someone else squats the 800 for fraud is beyond me).
