SKYPE... SKYPE, BABY! On WKYT TV NEWS With Sam Dick

My handyman calls me "Primetime" as a nickname now. He is teasing me about WKYT TV being at my home office to film a news segment on using Skype for my Lizette Realty business in Central Kentucky.

News Anchor, Sam Dick contacted me earlier in the month after he had Googled "Skype Kentucky "and came across an Activerain post I had written on using Skype in my business.

I use Skype's Internet phone service to call out of state clients and I love the video conferencing with other Skype users. I no longer have a dedicated home phone line. I cut the cord to save $500 a year. I only pay $29.95 a year for Skype.

Skype used for business in Lizette Realty. Lizette Fitzpatrick uses Skype daily to connect clients and consultants to discuss and view real estate in Central Kentucky.

This has really been great to use for business in Lizette Realty.

I see clients or consultants and they can see me. I can show them houses, pictures and documents.

After numerous emails and phone calls, Sam arrived with a cameraman to film me using Skype.

I figured it would be a good time to get my office clean and clear off my desk!

Now I can't find anything! LOL

The WKYT TV News segment is scheduled to be aired on April 1st at 5PM.

I will come back to update this if this changes. I hope it's not an April Fool's joke!

Cool but can you actually use that in a office or just a home office. We need more info on how that works. Maybe a post for a later day.

Lizette, congrats on being famous now! I love Skype. We used it to communicate with our daughter when she was out of the country. We got to talk, and to see each other at the same time. What a blessing! And best of it, it's FREE!!!

Great stuff Lizette, and glad you got the exposure. They say Skype is going to work soon on the iPhone's data network (the WiFi one??). Great way to save money. Great for international calls too.

Lizette,

I have an unlimited national calling plan and I can call regular phones, but the quauality is not always there. How many times people would tell me that the sound is terrible, howmany times, I had to hang up and then call from a regular phone.

I am not happy with Skype. Hear about Magic Jack, some praise some not, do not really know.

Update:

There was a rumor that the segment might get bumped if University of KY announced it's new coach on Wednesday. I think everything is still a "go" because he was announced on Tuesday evening. I have my fingers crossed that it won't be rescheduled.

For those of you that were thinking of using Magic Jack, I tried to but it will not work correctly if you use an aircard for your DSL.

My G1 T-Mobile phone has always had the application"iScoot "to access Skype for use away from my computer. I guess the Iphone is catching up! LOL
