TPOL’s Tip: Use Skype for 800 #s Abroad

Here’s a good reminder that when things go wrong, 800 numbers won’t help you when you are in a foreign country (see ATM Issues Abroad & Priority Pass Registration: Remember Not to Forget). The best way to avoid roaming calls and, more importantly, be able to get through to 800 numbers is to use Skype. It’s free and it works. Given the multiple issues I have had this trip (see TPOL Forgets How to Travel), I thought it was important to document this in TPOL’s Travel Lessons, so next time I will remember not to panic.
