Skype worth keeping if I'm speaking in Latin?

[lightcastle]

My Skype phone number is set to expire soon. I set it up so my friends from the US could call me, but the only person who ever used it was Kendra and the Natural Products people for my job interview. It's only about $2 a month, so it might be worth keeping for the off chance I do a freelance projects in the US or some such. At the same time, with Google phone, is it really needed?

In other news, I spent all day at the office working overtime, which mostly sucked, but I may have gotten free imported artisanal olive oil out of it.

And since I always try to add some educational material in these things, this is for those of you who have these sorts of arguments (and you know who you are), a guide to pronouncing Latin

And while we're at it, can anyone translate "The Keeper of the things that make us happy"?

I just switched to Google Voice and I am very happy with it.

So with Google Phone I can set up a US number for people to call me on?

Yes. It will take voice messages and transcribe them for you (although that's sort of hit or miss in terms of whether the transcribing is correct). You can send and receive text messages via that number. You can make and receive calls on your computer.

ETA: Setting it up is a bit of a challenge but once it's set up, it's great.

OK then, so maybe I will just move over to that.
