While we were on our last cruise, there was a man using his laptop to make calls home. He said using the internet, an inexpensive phone, and sometimes a calling card, he can call home for nothing or very little.
Unfortunately, I did not get the whole process from him, and cannot seem to track it down myself.
He said it usually costs whatever the per minute charge is on the laptop.
I thank anyone who might be able to shed some light on this. We all like to check home , but usually it is so expensive that we get a hugh bill as a surprise when we get home.
Thanks for you time

Skype works very well. You'll have to buy a headset if your computer doesn't already have a microphone. You can also do video conferences if you have a webcam.

Yeah, he was porbably using Skype. If you need to, just got to Skype.com and download it. Would only cost the same as usuing the internet.
