With Skype’s free software – by the way, it works seamlessly with your
internet connection – you can chat away with free Skype-to-Skype calls
and never worry about cost, time or distance. Share the love and get
your friends to download Skype so you can talk, chat or make video calls
for nothing. You can also make local, long distance and international
calls to phones and mobiles at great rates too.
Skype is
jam-packed with great features to help you stay in touch with friends,
family and co-workers, share your thoughts and find the information you
need.
You can use it on a computer or get Skype on your mobile so
you can keep in touch on the move, whatever you’re up to. Skype works
on a wide range of mobiles, plus on devices like the PlayStation
Portable (PSP). There’s also a great range of WiFi and cordless phones
with Skype built-in.
Just for starters you can instant message
with anyone on your contact list or even use group chat to chat with up
to a hundred people. You could hold a conference call with up to nine
other people to organise a get-together and then use SkypeFind to search
for the perfect venue to hold it.
There are also really cool
video features. All you need is a webcam to make free video calls or
even take photos of yourself to personalise Skype.
If you use
Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, GMail, Hotmail or your mail account
with Yahoo! then it’s a simple task to import contacts and get them all
onto your Skype. If they don’t have Skype yet you can send them invite
to download it – then you can talk for free (and maybe you’ll even get a
nice bouquet of flowers and a chocolate bar from them to say thanks for
getting them onto Skype? We’d like to think that’s in order).
Got
friends on MySpace? Get them to download Skype or MySpace’s version of
Skype. Then add them to your Skype contact list and you’ve got even more
people to talk to for free. Simply search for them in Skype and click
the MySpaceIM tab in the search results.
Adding someone to your
contact list is easy. But you can also add people who are not yet on
Skype and call them on their phones and mobiles at pretty cheap rates
wherever they are.
Also, if your Microsoft Outlook contacts have
phone numbers, you can have them show up on your contact list so you can
call them. You’ll need Skype Credit or a monthly subscription to make
calls to phones and mobiles.
The business version of Skype has
the same features as the standard version; however, it also includes
Windows Installer (commonly known as MSI) which makes it easy to install
Skype across your company.
Use Skype to give your friends a call and voice chat with them at the highest quality on the market.
