Skype

Skype

Does anyone else use this?

Whats the quality like?

We've just downloaded it to ring her dad in Saudi after seeing the phonebill.

it's ok - you can sort of do similar things with MSN - but it's still canny

Good shit, I just won a handset on Ebay.
Her dad wouldnt have a clue about msn so Skype is a money saving idea.

dont 3 offer free Skype mins with everytop up or something

I dunno, you cant get much of a signal on 3 in Bedlington.

skype is great for talking to people in other countries as it's completely free if you both have broadband connections. the video is sometimes a bit ropey but you can see the view out of someone's hotel window in Shanghai for instance which I for one enjoyed.
you can also leave it connected for hours and just talk to someone when you feel like it rather than having a constant conversation.
if you have a webcam and mic you don't need a handset but headphones stop it all echoing.
