Skype
for iPhone is great, just great. It works so beautifully and it has been a
welcome solution to telephone connectivity while travelling internationally.
Forget your local cellular company and their over priced international calling
plans. Forget buying a local sim card in the country you are visiting,
especially if you’re a Verizon customer, and even if your iPhone is an unlocked
AT&T version. Just forget it all and get Skype for your iPhone or
iPad.
For iPhone users there is something very special and fancy you can do:
purchase a telephone
number from Skype and when you’re travelling overseas, just before you get
on the flight, forward the calls going to your iPhone to your new Skype phone
number. Then, when you get to wherever it is you’re going, chances are you’ll
find a Wi-Fi spot sooner or later and when you do, launch Skype on your iPhone
and any messages that were left will be waiting for you without any
international phone charges. As I write this, I’m guessing I could do that from my
iPand too, huh? Will try.
To forward your incoming calls on your iPhone to your Skype
number, select Settings and then Phone where you will see
a screen like the image to the right. Once you select Call Forwarding, you will
be able to enter your Skype phone number to receive the forwarded calls.
You can set your Skype account to be refilled in
increments. I have mine set to add $10 at a time when I’m reaching the
lower end of my credits. That way I am assured uninterrupted calling. Skype rates are incredibly
affordable and when I’m back home in the United States, I turn off my call
forwarding, but continue to use my Skype account to call family in South Africa
and friends in other countries.
Sad fact: It’s sometimes clearer to call on Skype on my Wi-Fi connection at
home than it is to use my AT&T cellular connection. I sometimes turn off my
cell phone radio, turn on my Wi-Fi and make a call if I don’t want to sound like
I’m at the bottom of a pond.

Science of Mind and Spirit For Begnners
"This wonderful book guides any individual to understand Science of Mind with ease and grace. It is a simple and beautiful presentation of the Spiritual Principles Science of Mind teaches. I highly recommend this book to students, licensed Practitioners and ministers. Blessings to Rev Edward." ~ Johan Gonzalez RScP. Science of Mind and Spirit for Beginners: Four Chapters in Simplified Prose, paraphrased by Edward VIljoen
Seeing Good At Work

I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
