Techie Skype Question


Bran, or anyone...

I have been getting calls from people I've never heard of. I decline the calls, but it's annoying as heck because whenever I hear the ring tones from Skype (and they are really distinctive and loud), I nearly break my neck running to my computer assuming it's my son in Oz.

How do these strangers get my number? It's usually one of three people calling (names are displayed) so it's not a wrong number. How does this work?

Security problems probably, I don't trust Skype, don't use it, don't plan on using it. Sorry Kae.

Rats! I use it only so I can talk to and see Nick in Oz for free. The odd time I'll talk to my other kids on it if they want to show me something and it saves me a driving trip. But thanks anyway, Bran. I guess there's always a trade off for a "free" service, huh?

Yeah lots of trade offs unfortunately.

Well next time they call you, you should do something crazy to scare them off. It works magically with telemarketers. Of course I finally added our numbers to the do not call list, but you know I kind of miss playing with the poor lil puppets hehe.
