Using Skype with a number from DID Worldwide (Score 2, Interesting)

When I first moved out of my hometown to another city after graduating, my first concern was staying in touch with friends and family without using my phone to save on long distance calls. I also wanted them to be able to call me without extra costs. So here's what I did. Using my laptop I was able to get a full "voip" line using Skype with the Skype-Out service and getting a phone number through DID Worldwide. Skype-Out costs around 3$ a month and the DID number costs 5$ a month. This way for approx. 7$ I was able to make and receive calls through Skype. To go a step further, you could get a Skype Phone so you won't have to carry around a netbook or a laptop.
