Wag poh Koya!!

Yes it’s true, I can call the Philippines from here for free. But not everyone, actually its just my old office in Marikina and Makati. It’s just something I discovered in my free time here (which is A LOT!!!). Here’s how..

I found out that I can call my former employer’s office which is based in Pennsylvania and dial the extension of my old colleagues in the Philippines. So it’s not an IDD call rather just NDD (NJ to PA). But that’s cheap already right? Here’s more..

I got me this USB phone for my PC and downloaded Skype. It is a VOIP program that allows you to call anyone in the US & Canada for free, that is until the end of the year. Next year may bayad na pero may promo sila $15 for the whole year. Anyway so using my Skype, I can call them from my PC technically for free.. Ain’t that the coolest thing or what!!Ü

So what’s next? One of these days, I’ll try to have my colleagues call our house and do a conference call. That way I can call home for free.. from the other side of the world.Ü "1, 2, 3…. Asteeeg!!!!"
