Use Skype and Save on Christmas and Holiday phone calls

With friends and family increasingly far flung and the price of travel rising all the time, it is difficult to cover the miles required to meet up with all those nearest and dearest to you. However, if you swap your road, air and sea miles for Skype miles, you can stay in touch without leaving anybody out or breaking the bank.

Skype is the perfect way to stay connected with friends and family throughout the year. Free, great quality voice and video calls, as well as instant messages, make it the next best thing to actually being there with them.

With the addition of Skype video the entire family can gather around the webcam or videophone and enjoy calls with loved ones across the globe to wish them happy Christmas and even take part in virtual present exchanges. If all your friends and relatives are dotted around in different locations, why not start a group conversation or conference call so you can all connect at the same time. This way no-one needs to miss out on any of the festive fun.

Conversations over Skype can take place on computers, mobile devices and Skype Certified hardware, so you can chat away with Skype-to-Skype calls without having to worry about high call costs, time or distance.
