Call me!

I set up a paid Skype account so that anytime I'm on my computer, anyone can call me from their regular, everyday phones. Isn't that awesome!? I do so much love technology. This is for calling only, though, which means that you should not try to text my skype number from your phone. Just e-mail me instead. Or IM me (my Skype name is just angelinacarnevale if you've got Skype yourself and just want to chat to me that way). Or facebook me (yes, I just used "facebook" as a verb in a non-ironic way). Or leave a comment on here. Or snail mail. Or carrier pigeon. There are about a million ways to get text to me while I'm away, but if you simply must hear my voice and all you've got on you is your phone, then here's the number to call:

(401) 244-5986

There's a seven-hour time difference, though, so keep that in mind. So, when it's 1:00 PM in the U.S. (Eastern Standard Time), it'll be 8:00 PM for me in South Africa. Of course, I'll be calling it 20h00 rather than 8:00 PM, but that's inconsequential.

So, as for how much it will cost and such:

It costs me 2.5¢ per minute to call any phone in the U.S. but it is free for me to receive phone calls from any phone in the U.S.

It costs you whatever amount of money it normally costs you to call a Rhode Island phone number. It costs you whatever amount of money it normally costs you to receive a call from a Rhode Island phone number.

So, how this works is, whenever I have internet, which is going to be 1:00 AM - 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (8:00 AM - 9:00 PM South Africa Time), I will be able to receive/make phone calls on my computer.

As for calling me at other times when I don't have internet access, tough luck.

Actually, I plan on getting a cell phone when I get there, and using prepaid international phone cards to call home on non-internet time. If you want that phone number when I get it, let me know. Keep in mind, though, it will be an international number, which will probably cost you a bazillion dollars to call, so only do it if you really, really love me, or, if you're just that loaded (in which case, why haven't you given me a pony yet?).
