Skype

[MHS]

Alright all, I've just downloaded this. Got friends abroad I'd like to talk to, is it as simple as just plugging a microphone and webcam into your computer?

 

[SwedeFox]

Yep, pretty much. You have to buy credits if you want to call a mobile phone or landline, but if you're doing computer to computer it's just to find your friends online and call them up.

 

[MHS]

Yeah, it will be computer to computer. Is it free?

 

[Matt_B]

Yeah, though if you both have msn you can do the same thing

They don't use MSN, would be a hell of a lot easier if they did!

Skype is absolutely superb and a doddle to use!

Just speaking to my mum in the UK from Australia on it, all be it on the actual home phone for $2 a month.


Excellent, better quality than an ozzy phone to a uk phone.

Maybe they see you and decide to pull their pants up and leave?

You don't need a webcam, most people just use it as a free alternative to using the phone.

He can't see his mate's sack that way though.

When you get a cam though Tom check out http://www.chatroulette.com, you won't regret it.

I use it all the time, friends in Rio, in-laws in Spain, off-spring at uni, cousins in the USA. It must have saved me a fortune.
