John Keswick 119 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I've heard of it, but not sure what it is... Its a software that you download to you puter, a bit like msn messenger, but you can call normal phone numbers or computers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lanesra 4,007 Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I've heard of it, but not sure what it is... once you get set up , you can ring friends or family also speak through video link , so you can see each other , all free, buttermilk if your anything like me with computers it sounds difficult, but if someone sets it up for you its easy to get the hang off it and brilliant to keep in touch with people .

PINNACLE 2,297 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 My brother is in Aus which is why I got it but I have used it for 2 1/2 years as my work number cost next to nothing a month even redirecting to my mobile. There seems to be a lot of companies using it now as well. If you have an Iphone you can get it on that as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferretess 230 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Skype is cheap and easy to use, My Daughter was working in Africa cost a fortune to speak to her , But not with Skype used to call a landline and talk for hours, It's a little like pay as you go put so much into it and you can see as your on the call how much you are using, You can also talk to people if they are on the comp for free as well, and yes it is a bit like MSN you can chat on it to, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
