Skype story: Family relatives (long-time geographically distant) found me on Skype! 16 March 2006, 22:31
Posted by Orhan in : General , add a commentThis is one of the biggest surprizes for me in a while. Today, as I am working at my office at the university, my cellphone rang. My Skype incoming calls come directly to my cell phone (and no, it is not call forwarding by Skype), and I saw the call was one of them. Thinking it was my parents or a friend (I know it is a Skype incoming call but the cell phone screen does not show the caller’s Skype nickname,) I picked it up.
It turns out that a family relative, whom neither I nor most of my family have met, is on the other side of the line in Denmark. This was a very nice surprize and it shows what internet and Skype is capable of. We were talking a few seconds later he searched, found and dialled me, and he said “You know, or you don’t but we are relatives, HELLO.”
Way to go Skype developers. You are changing the way we communicate, and find each other!
