It's FREE!

Make free Internet phone calls using Skype

What could be better than staying in touch with your family and friends, or business colleagues, for FREE? With Skype, it’s possible!

Skype, founded in 2003, is a software-based application that allows users to make voice or video calls over the Internet to other Skype members for free. You’re able to talk to anyone worldwide at any time of the day for as long as you would like without a cost to either party. Since the service is primarily computer-based and not everyone is glued to their computers 24 hours a day, Skype even features call forwarding and voicemail. Recently, Skype also added an application for members to add to their mobile phones, granting them access to their account while in WiFi zones.

What do you need to use Skype? Well, as long as you have a computer with Internet access, you can download Skype and you will be given a number. Although the service works best if you have a headset, you could also use your computer’s speakers and a microphone as well.

Since Skype also offers a monthly service fee or a pay-as-you-go feature allowing you to make calls to landlines and other non members of Skype, many companies have started using Skype as a way of communicating internally and externally. You can even add a call button to your Web site or e-mail signature, allowing business partners or clients to contact you directly with the click of a mouse. Also, since you can talk to single users or have conference calls by voice or video, it can change the way your office runs.
