These are tough economic times. But people are finding Skype is helping keep them connect with loved ones around the world-for free or low cost.

To help spread the word, Skype is looking for your personal stories on how Skype audio, Video and chats are helping couples living apart due to economic reasons.

Maybe one spouse is in Dallas, and another in Atlanta. Or one in Chicago, and another in London.

Skype would appreciate it if you could share your story in a brief summary about your circumstances and contact information. Please send any leads to Skype@kaplowpr.com.
