Skype is a simple bit of software that you download. It’ll let you make free calls to your friends all over the world. yes thats right its free ! 
From the website -
Our software’s quick and easy to get started with. Download, register, install, plug in your headset, speakers or USB phone and start calling your friends. The calls have excellent sound quality and are highly secure with end-to-end encryption. You don’t even need to configure your firewall or router or any other networking gear. It just, you know… works.
Bridging the gap.And it doesn’t just work on Windows, like some other software you may know. Skype is also for Mac OS X, Linux and PDAs using Pocket PC, with a native look and feel for each platform. Talking, sending instant messages or even file transfers work between different platforms like a charm.
Calling regular phone numbers.If there weren’t enough ways for you to contact your friends, we have a little thing called SkypeOut. It lets you make calls to old-fashioned phone numbers all around the world. Landlines, mobile phones... it works with almost all of them. SkypeOut is not free but it is pretty cheap, actually.
You can also forward your Skype calls to a traditional phone or mobile. It won’t cost others any extra to call, and you simply pay the standard SkypeOut rate to call the number that you forward to.
Make sure you’re on the same page.
You know how Skype to Skype calls are free and work? Well, we’ve taken the same recipe and applied it to file transfers. Since most things you want your friends to see tend to be rather large, we made our file transfer work with all the file sizes your operating system can handle. For most people, that’s between 2 or 4 gigabytes. And remember, it works from Windows to Mac to Linux and the other way around. No platform problems here.
Nobody’s listening in.When it comes to talking, instant messaging or transferring files, we’ve gone to great lengths to make it secure. Skype automatically encrypts everything before sending it through the internet. Likewise, on arrival everything is decrypted on-the-spot and presented as crystal clear speak, text or a file transfer nobody can intercept.

I've been using skype for about a year before it was acquired by ebay and I've gotta tell you I love the free calls.
Very clear, I use a bluetooth adapter coupled with a plantronics earpiece and frequently use skype instead of my mobile .
Not to mention I can easily block numbers with it, instead of our landline phone. Great free service ! |

i think the days of skype are numbered - see bleow
http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/69374
A few weeks ago we discussed how the folks at Verso unveiled a Skype killing appliance that would detect and filter Skype packets. The company's CEO at the time painted Skype as a menace to ISPs, whom he claim frequently complained to him that the app gobbled up network capacity.
Techdirt (who suggests Ebay get their lawyers ready for combat) reports that the company is on the verge of signing a significant deal with a Chinese provider. The folks at Digg also point to a push to kill Skype courtesy of a Canadian stat-farm, which has published a report entitled: "Five Reasons To Ban Skype."
There's some very amusing gems in the list, including the report's third reason, which follows this logic: because other countries (like Oman) have banned Skype, international barriers have been created, therefore companies world-wide should ban Skype as well. |
