Thumbs up skype wow

you can now send text messages as well, and for us (at least) its cheaper

as far as I know if your (contact) has it also, you can telephone for free, we call our friends and family back in the UK and it works for us............

We use skype, and love it for video conferences. We used to use MSN Messenger, but we find Skype seems to be better in quality... and range of services.
We don't use it for phone calls though... because our friends and family don't all have skype... they call us on a UK number that comes straight through to us for 3 pence a minute. I won't put the webpage on here for it, as that's advertising. But if anyone wants one... then PM me. It's free.
Will I get my legs slapped now?:omg :giggle

I installed Skype a short time back, but not used it yet. I bought a Logitech headset with boom mike which has fantastic sound & mike quality.

its a system that the more you use it the more you use it (if you see what I mean) :conf

we just pin a mike to ourselves and have the speakers on saves all that "what did he/she say malarky, we can both listen in, but of course for privacy a headset is better - we used to get feedback but that doesnt happen anymore.
