Cici Long DistanceCici Long Distance – A Couple of Quick Tips So you’re inquiring about Cici’s long distance plan. Let me give you a couple of ways to save money, and then you can make the decision whether you’re moving with Cici. Number one to save money, you can use the traditional long distance one plus plan. These are cool because basically you don’t have to change your actual phone provider. You just call a specific number, and then you save money. For example, here in Canada the most popular is called Yak. You can find them at Yak.Ca. Your second option is to use what we call voice over IP. That’s a rather new technology. This is where you’re using the internet to talk over the phone. Now there’s two options here. If you’re really tech savvy you can use some piece of hardware that you add to your computer and then you use your computer directly to call people up. Or, if you deal with a known company they can simply use that technology and hook it up to your actual phone so you don’t need any technical skills to use it. Of course another classic is dial around or call cards. Now these are very good if you’re travelling or if you have a teenager and you want to allow them to call home if there’s any problem. But in terms of saving money, you want to read the fine print. But, my favorite option is called Skype, and this is a free software that you can download on your computer and if the other person you’re calling has Skype it’s free. And, you can even use your webcam and see the other person you’re talking to. If you want to have a real phone number you can also use Skype. And since it’s using the internet to allow you to talk over the phone, it’s cheaper than normal phone companies.
