What is Skype?

Skype is a little piece of software that allows you to make free calls to friends and family who are also on Skype, anywhere in the world. But just because they're free calls, doesn't mean you're compromising call quality. Skype calls are as clear as your normal phone, if not clearer. Also, Skype allows you to make free video calls. These are a great way of keeping in touch with family members, friends or colleagues, who are living in different towns and cities across the globe.

Skype is very easy to download and more importantly, it's free! To learn more about Skype and to download the software simply click the button below.

With more than 340 million registered users, Skype is the most popular voice communication service in the world. The Skype service comes with an application software, called a softphone, which is why many people think of Skype as being only a software, overlooking the great service behind.

Skype has broken many barriers to communication. While in the past you needed to take particular care of the minutes and seconds you spend speaking on international calls, you no longer need to bother about that now. If you use Skype to make PC to PC communication, you pay nothing more than the monthly Internet service, which you would anyway have paid without Skype.

Skype is changing how people communicate with the integration of voice and IM (Instant Messaging) into one application. Talk when you want and type when you want, and switch between the two as you wish, seamlessly.
