When Skype was new it had FREE calling to land lines. My friends and I would make so many fun calls. So many fun times. Then Microsoft bought it and killed the free calling.

You could do that with net2phone using the internet in 1996. Skype doing it 7 years later wasn't that amazing.

Thankfully, we are beyond long distance phone calls (mostly). In the 80's we did something a little different: traded lists of long distance phone codes and made free calls that way.
