Well my cellular phone seems to be dying, and with the lack of appropriate funds, it seems I won't be able to afford one soon. I'm not that big of a user though, so it's not the end of the world (omg, no mawr txtin!). I've used skype occasionally and after looking at it again today, it doesn't seem to be able to do this, so here's my question. Does anyone know of an application that I could use my cellular phone subscription and use my computer as a phone? I guess it kinda seems odd to use it that way, but I do not use a home phone for calls.

on a mac if it's not totally dead u should be able to do everything via bluetooth.

Like calling people?

I did get to call someone through skype today and it was pretty cool. I was just kinda wishing I could make my skype number my cell number then when I go away from my comp I switch it to my cell, hopin it will work then. (Can't really fit a Macbook in a pocket.....)

Well two things. one you could fit a macbook air in your pocket wink.gif and also with all the mac nuts on here that are getting the iphone 3g you can probably pick up one of their old phones.

True, but I'm still curious about getting my macbook "wired into" my wireless plan.
