i assume the other person has to have skype installed on their computer?
is it simply just a case of having skype, a mic and speakers?
mate of mine was bangin on about it a year or so ago and i said...
"skype, thats crazy"

for free calls the other person needs skype on their computer, but you can also use it to call any real phone number too, you just need to put a little credit into it. you then get calls to anywhere for next to nothing.

the last time i was in the US i put $10 of credit into it, called home tons and tons of times, and still have about $6 credit.

Be careful with your credit. If you don't use it fast enough this can happen:

Pretty much like prepaid mobile phones.

i would of loved to have heard the back and forth during the placement of that particular order.
does anyone remember the news at ten on utv back in the 90's?
trevor mcdonald every night without fail, on a friday they'd have they're technology reporter lawrence mcginty to report on what the future would hold for us in regards to computers and so on.
they did a report on the internet and in particular a report on how one would be able to order a takeaway or a pizza online.
"wow, thats amazing" i thought to myself... welcome to the future.

I installed last night on the back of this thread, Deadly stuff, although to call mobiles it's not an wful lot cheaper than what i was paying - 10p vs 15p per min.


If I was ringing the folks landline though it'd be well cheap.
