I have recently downloaded and installed Skype, and thought to pass on a little information about it.
Skype is a little piece of software that lets you make free calls over the Internet. Users can make superior quality voice calls to other Skype users for free and to landlines and mobiles worldwide for the price of a local call.
It already has over 100 million downloads of the software and every day over 150,000 new users join the 33 million active users.
One of the features that interested me was SkypeIn. For just a few dollars a month, you can get your own, regular phone number. So if your friends who aren’t using Skype want to call you by dialing a regular number, you can still receive the call in Skype. To make it even better, SkypeIn comes with a free Skype Voicemail subscription, so, if you are not online when the call comes in, there is a way for the caller to leave you a message.
You can get up to 10 SkypeIn numbers total from United States, United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Poland, Norway and Sweden. They are continuously working on having numbers available in many more countries around the world. One neat feature is this, say you have a friend or relative far, and you want to let them call you without the long distance fee, if there are area code numbers available, with Skype, they can call that number you acquire, only paying what they normal would for a local call!
This is looking to be a promising service.
Another feature is SkypeOut, a low cost way to make calls from Skype to friends who still use those traditional landlines or mobile phones. That means calling anyone, anywhere in the world at local rates.
