Here we go. I want to talk on the phone to some of yall. Especially those of yall who aren't from here. PM me if you want to talk on the phone. Add a post to this if you want to talk to people on the phone too. PM them too. I cannot call out of the country because of my phone but I may be able to get calls. I don't know. We can try.

I think it may be easier to try to set things up on a website for conversations when it comes to international calls.

Cant call an foreigner either but it seems like a interesting idea(they have something similar on postsecret for texting each other)

Yea, that's generally easier, as long as you have decent internet.
I've also done a couple skype calls before, usually either with family or people from a site I'm working on.

I quite like the idea of talking people from this site.
Great idea OliveOilMum :salut:
Overseas phone calls are quite expensive from Australia :wall:
How about one of the internet video chat programs

Are any of the ones below any good as they are already part of this forum's system?

With Skype, one can have conference calls. How many people can be in the conference, I'm not sure about. I'd like to do this sometime, even though I'll be like a deer in the headlights.

I've used Skype for international communication for a while now. Or when my cellphone is dead, it's pretty cheap. I wouldn't know what to say though :lol:, but a Skype conference would be interesting, that way I wouldn't be under too much pressure.

Skype maxes out at 5 where gotomeeting maxes out at thousands. i use GTM all te time... you use your telephone to dial a Local number within your own country (usually its a toll free number) nice thing is with GTM you know which caller is which and if one gets rowdy the moderator(s) can kick the caller from the call.

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:
