Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Does anyone here have much experience with Skype.com? It's an online chat application by which you can apparently make free phone calls to anywhere. I just got it (like, 10 minutes ago), and I see that you can add people to an existing chat. Maybe this might work for the group chats? Karen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karen M. Chan | kmchan | Whatever Happens...

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Karen, Skype is great! You can conference call with I believe 4-5 people, use as a video phone and transfer files. My husband and I use it when he goes on business trips so we don't rack phone bills. He also uses it daily to chat with friends who are spread across the country and to family in Korea. I definitely think it's worth downloading. Nikki - " Karen M. Chan " <kmchan Monday, May 08, 2006 1:28 PM Skype.com > Does anyone here have much experience with Skype.com?

We have used it for the better part of two and a half years. It has never caused any computer problems and my computer had to be worked on recently due to a program my son had downloaded and when they did their diagnostic sweep the tech verified that there was no spyware attached to Skype that he could find. Skype is a free software Internet phone program, not needing any additional equipment or routers, to anyone in the world with a computer....you can use the free program computer to computer as long as both computers have Skype software downloaded. Germany, England, Norway, China France Canada, U.S...it does not matter. Most of my family uses the free version. NOW...Skype does have a corporate and business version that you as an individual can also pay for, and you have to pay to call even your next door neighbors' land line but to call from your computer to my computer is free....my family and friends have just downloaded it and asked our family and friends who have computers and live long distance and even overseas (my cousin Clifton and my childhood friend Freida are stationed over seas...one in Norway and one in Germany) to just download it onto their computer and we can talk to them anywhere in the world with crystal clear clarity like a great phone...AND now with Video feed so we can use our web cams and see each other. It is not garbled up like Msn Messenger can be, or or Google chat programs...we had a lot of feed back at times and lag time and what not...I am telling you Isis...I can't rave about this program enough after two and a half years...you might could increase your customer base using it for your Internet sales...and it is FREE!!!!! You are using your computer and your computer mic and your computer speaker as a phone. Skype is a software program that was created and based out of a European country (Luxembourg, I think) for an affordable and high quality Trans-global business alternative to phone servi! Ce, and for individual use it is just simply free...we love it. I leave my speakers up, and can hear any of my family call me because my Skype " RINGS " like a real telephone to let me know one of them want to talk To me...then I go to my computer, answer it by pushing a button, and begin to talk....I feel like I am living a Star Trek kind of life...my computer hails me " to let me know someone has a " communique for me " ! Go to http://www.skype.com/helloagain.html and click the download button on the left side of the screen towards the middle of the screen...Follow the directions...it is easy, conv! Enient, and FUN! They let you personalize your ring tones kind of like a cell phone and there are a lot to choose from Try it!!!! (((HUGS))) Blessings, laughter and health to you and yours~Gloria in Tennessee...a happy grandmother-to-be:) We are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience...we are spiritual beings going through a temporary human experience.
