Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Wi-Fi mobile phone with Skype built in
• Wi-Fi hotspot
• Computer with broadband internet

1. Purchase a Skype VOIP Wi-Fi mobile phone from your local big-box retail or electronics store (e.g., Best Buy). You can also purchase a Skype VOIP Wi-Fi mobile phone online (e.g., eBay and Amazon). Skype VOIP Wi-Fi mobile phones are ready to use out of the box and connect directly to any available Wi-Fi wireless network.

2. Alternatively, you can purchase a Skype VOIP Wi-Fi mobile phone on Skype's website at http://shop.skype.com/phones. A good choice would be the Skype VOIP Netgear WiFi mobile phone which features 4 hours talk time; 48 hours standby time; 500 contacts; speakerphone; access to basic Skype features such as see who's online, online numbers, and voicemail; and best of all, no monthly fees.

3. Prices for Skype VOIP Wi-Fi mobile phones range from around $129 to $159. While the price may seem a bit high, it may be worthwhile for the business traveler or the person who uses up monthly mobile phone minutes at the coffee shop or airport. It's a one-time price so long as the receiver is also using Skype VOIP.

4. When you receive your new Skype VOIP Wi-Fi mobile phone, simply power up the mobile phone, connect wirelessly, and sign in to your Skype VOIP account. You are now ready to make free mobile Skype VOIP calls to your Skype contacts from any Wi-Fi wireless network hotspot.
