I knew LG Dacom had to be ripping off servicemembers somehow. If a soldier signs up for the LG Dacom plan at $15 a month that comes out to $180 a year, compared to $25 a year for Skype.

I shant be unsatisfied by this, but I bet that I would be if I cared. I don't care enough to communicate with people back home that I would pay $15 for this.

It all runs pretty seamlessly. You can even choose to auto-charge your account and auto-renew your phone number when they run out. So it'll take ten minutes to set up, and you never have to think about it again. Oh, and another benefit is that whenever you travel, you can just set the number to follow you. My friends and family used the same number last may to get ahold of me on a pay-as-you-go phone when I was in KC for my brother's wedding for a couple weeks. I don't understand why Skype doesn't market this feature, as, imo, it's the best thing about the whole company.
