The fraud division of our credit card company called our home and sent us an e-mail about possibly fraudulent credit card charges. So, we had to call them back. We discovered that Skype allows free calls to 800 numbers in the U.S., so Jim tried it. And, it worked. We talked with the credit card company and then, being on a roll, Jim called our auto insurance company to reduce our coverage while we are overseas. There we discovered a problem. We couldn't figure out how to press 1, or any other number. Pressing 1 on the computer had no effect on the voice asking you to press 1. So, we just waited until we were switched to a live human. The credit card company was no problem because you could either say or press the number.
Jim feels a little odd talking to the computer, but, it works! And, is free! Now, Jim is kicking himself for not bringing his headset with us.
