Not Just Phone Savings

While I blabbered more than once on phone savings, no one can just endlessely be a couch potato and just phone talk. You gotta go out in the real world. Entertain yourself.

Be it movies, concerts, stand up comedy, nba basketball games or driving on highway 1 in california, a student has to spend smartly and yet live it up.

It would be interesting to hear from students who have entertained themselves in traditional/creative ways and saved along as well. Or one cannot have fun without blowing wads of money. Lets share..

Write in to share your own entertainment secret and how you creatively saved $$$$$$

Cheers

Calling Home

All of you must have already made your phone calls home. What services have you used. I have heard good feedback on Airtel prepaid. How about any feedback on Reliance/Matrix calling cards when making your international calls to India. Good/Bad and the ugly.

Also any call drop/overbilling issues with the standard phone companies within the US or the popular ones that you use to call India.

Has anyone considered using skype for making those calls. And that too for free. All you need is a computer and headphone on both sides. And your international calls are free. How is the sound quality if any of you have used it.

This is a recurring expense and whatever we can save for everyone is wonderful. Isn't it.

Keep me posted on any other options that all of you have used on calling India.
