Hello there ! I would like to tell you a little story about me. When I was 25 years old I got an offer from a company to migrate to the US. Since I thought it would be a really good experience I accepted the offer and two months later I relocated to the city of Seattle, WA. I left my family, my friends and my girlfriend (now my wife) back in my hometown and I started a new chapter in my life.
When I originally got to the US I didn't have cell phone or a fancy laptop with camera, so I decided to buy an external webcam to chat with my girlfriend. I remember the first attempts were not good at all. I was (for whatever reason) trying to use Microsoft Messenger and the connection was pretty bad and seeing up my new webcam turned out to be almost impossible.
After trying several times with no luck, I decided to look for a good alternative and I remembered about Skype. Up until then, I had used Skype only a couple of times, but since I didn't really have anyone to call I kind of forgot about it until I truly needed it.
What a big difference ! The setup was extremely easy and the video call quality was great ! I can say Skype definitely helped me keep in touch with my girlfriend and perhaps it helped us to get married a little over a year after I left.
Nowadays there are several other options you can use to keep close to your love ones. Google Voice, FaceTime and Skype are the ones I have tried so far. I always come back to Skype after a while though, Even if each one of these options provides a very similar service. I think Skype's subscriptions, mobile apps (iPhone, iPad, Android, etc..) and top notch call quality are the best out there.
Cheers and see you soon !
CI
