I have just started using Skype and I have to say I’m very impressed. I heard about Skype last year and never could be bothered to use it as I normally use iChatAV with people. For the people out there who don’t know what skype is it’s a chat application that focases on VOIP or Audio chat. Skype is famous for the fact that you can call land lines mobile etc using the service (Cheaper rates than landline/mobile). Skype is free to download and it’s a pretty lightweight install so no problems there, it’s free to chat to others using the computer just like all the other chat services out there (MSN, AIM etc..) and this includes voice chat too. Skype allows you to buy Skypeout credit which as you guessed it is just like pay as you go on a mobile phone. I have only just bought my 10 euros worth so will update you as to it’s usage/value later. Skype is easy to use / install, just download a copy from the Skype website and install it then enter the username you want and thats it!.
