Silvery Thing:
Guys.... can any of you give me a brief run down of how Skype works :huh:

I have heard of it but what is needed to use it :-k

Please use plain language as I am light years away from being the most technically minded person around :rolleyes:

Hissy:
After getting caught twice phoning a mate in Sweden @ £25-00 for just over an hour i got Angie to download it from t'internet.
I'm pretty clueless with computers but i think it's a fairly painless operation.
I then found a web cam thingy in Maplins with an intergrated mike about £12-00 i think.
Hey presto free calls and you can see who your talking to(not a pretty sight if you know Dazzawhipple  :shock: )

Not much use but i don't think there's much to it  8-[

its just like a internet phones so to say. or msn but a lot better. you get in touch with your freinds etc as long as they have skype. I use it and have for a year or more now. just download the sofwere and get your freinds skype names and away you go nice a free as it use's the internet band not your phone band

SimonHarwood:
You use Skype by connecting a microphone and speakers to your sound card, or by using a headset. All you need to know is the other person's Skype username.

Skype can also be used to call land lines in various countries for the cost of a local phone call in that country.

Disco Matt:
It can be rather less than wonderful - I've tried it on two PCs, and couldn't get it to work properly on either.
