Skype Rule - Talk for free on the internet

philipdupreez
This has been available for a while, but I only recently.
This is a Voice over IP program that allows you to talk to anyone on the internet anywhere provided they have the same program. The software is free.
The real amazing thing is the new feature you can now have real phone number. That means someone can call you from a normal landline and you can call other landline numbers. They have also just added the live video software also for free, so if you have a web cam you can see the other person. I know, I know it is not all that new, but this is the first software that I find really works especially with multiple call (live conferencing).

Here is the web address: www.skype.com biggrin.gif

It would be good to note, that although the Skype program is free and you can talk to anyone with the Skype program, the Real Phone number, the ability to call land-lines and the voicemail are all extra packages that cost money..

But Skype is still a cool program! biggrin.gif

I hate that thing...It's REALLY good to chat to your friends..but when you get 21 year old men from pakistan trying to phone you and telling you to pick up the phone constantly it gets REALLY freaky..I don't eve know how they get my address.

I used this when it was sort of really new and no one knew about it except me and my friends and loads of other people from around europe...

It was a really horrible experience..I'm not going to say what happened because it might scare people into not downloading this awesome program... just remember, be careful!

good to hear about this. I love Skype as well. It is also cheaper if you make international calls. Very cheap indeed. Do look into it.
but the experience quoted shows again, why it is so important to stay anoymous on the web, simply do not add any personal information , just tell you friends. And with personal information I mean. NOT YOUR AGE and location and your SEX. it is so tempting just to ring all the hot 18 to 24 year old female that live only two miles down the road. just don't do it. Otherwise, I am addicted as well....

when using Skype is there any delays in the audio? I use Teamspeak often when gaming and there is a substaitial delay. I can get really annoying especially if you are trying to have a normal converstaion.

I haven't heard anything about whether Skype has a delay in the audio. I'm considering getting it myself since I heard it's a really good deal. We just need the web cam before we add the video conferencing. And, of course, I'll be careful with how personal info to submit.

Skype is a great voice chat program. It is very good especially if you want to get a high quality stream, even on a 56k connection. If you haven't tried it yet, well ... you should try it with your friend or someone else, then decide wether use it or not. It really rules trust me!

    compatible with windows XP and newer. The two reasons why old dinosaurs that still use Windows 2000
    and lower won't be able to use the new IE are: 1. state in which is the extended support of
    Windows 2000 and 2. mostly of technical nature (IE 7 is goin to have a few security updates and
    imporvements, which bases on the functionality of the new XP SP2 and this is the reason for its

  12. Voip(voice Over Internet Protocol) - real money saver (16)

    signal to digital and transports the signal to the receiver where it is converted back from digital
    to analog and the receiver hears the sender's voice. This provides a more efficient and
    economical means of communication. I have know VOIP for quite a some time since i started online.

    I was wondering if anybody had any experience with internet telephony or voIP. I've tried Skype

    adopted it as a money saving venture. In the UK BT announced yesterday a new phone service whereby
    when you take your phone outside your home it uses the Vodafone network, and when you use it at home
    it automatically uses voIP over bradband. Sounds interesting......
  17. Internet Explorer.... With Tabs! - (22)
    Yes, it’s finally true. Stuck on like a big band aid, courtesy of MSN Toolbar 1.2, we have IE with

    needed to do, and have provided tabbed browsing for Internet Explorer. Things are fairly undeveloped
    at this stage, but reports talk about it running fast and supporting most features you'd want.
