I use Skype quite a lot to keep in touch with my far flung family. The grandparents love being able to see the little one. The first time my mother used it to call her baby boy in Ohio she cried at the sight of him.

My friends in Turkey use it to call the U.S., and they love it.

Let me add that Skype's audio quality is impressive. I was expecting a walkie-talkie like interaction like that of Paltalk's but this was just like being on the telephone sans the cost.

We would certainly recommend it to anyone.
