You can download it at http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/windows/Explain how to use it free,step by step please.
you can use it to call phones, but their rates aren't really competitive, especially when everybody's got unlimited call anywhere plans. It CAN be a really good alternative for calling other countries though, and if you're IN another country it's your friend. I bring my laptop when I fly global so I can call in the airport with free wifi; otherwise it costs me >8$/min on my cell phone. Their best feature, video chat, is free though. My wife uses it to talk to her family on the other side of the planet. The video quality is not great, nor the sound, but it's free. One thing though, at least one person needs to use headphones because you get a lot of feedback issues with the mic right next to the speakers.Who know the cost of skype and why more people are not using it.
Its been out for awhile,must be some reason there not more hype
about Skype.
Well it is the #1 phone company in the world so I'd say people know about it. They bought Gizmo5 or what ever it was for the SIP funtions so they are going after buisnesses, people that talk country to country.serve in the military or work in IT. All these people use it which makes a huge base. But for your average westerner who lives and dies by their iphone it makes no sense to get skype when they have to pay for the iphone service anyways. And to just call phones in your country its cheap as crap. Like $6 a month for 4000 minutes. They say unlimited but if you read the fine print with any VOIP service you see unlimited means 2000 minutes, 4000 minutes, etc.. Like cell data.Who know the cost of skype and why more people are not using it.
