http://www.skype.com/

supposedly free internet phone.........wondering about ppl's experience's etc.

dapproid · 08-16-2004, 11:42 PM

I have used Skype many times. The sound quality is terrific, and the delay is mostly negligable. During general high-load on the net the connection might disappear for a few seconds, but otherwise it's a bingo.

Especially for me, located in India with all my family in Europe; this app is a winner.

EDIT: I wouldn't recommend it for professional usage when reliablity is paramount. But in all other connections, when low-price and 98% uptime is enough, it's great.

Been using skype since its early beta stages. The current one I got mad about because they add emoticons.

Dugmor · 08-16-2004, 11:43 PM

Works great !

Magg · 08-16-2004, 11:44 PM

Babagirls · 08-16-2004, 11:49 PM

Bansheelinks · 08-16-2004, 11:51 PM

TurboTrucker · 08-16-2004, 11:58 PM

Groove · 08-17-2004, 01:47 AM

Lot's of people rave about it.

And they recently introduced a cheap PC to phone service:

I plan to buy a headset so I can use it myself.

Manowar · 08-17-2004, 01:48 AM

We use Skype all the time, sound quality is terrific and delay isnt too bad in the US.

soukee · 08-17-2004, 06:45 AM

... I use Skype sometimes, it is great and minimal delay here. (Europe)

Taboo · 08-17-2004, 08:04 AM

fyi, Skype is run by same ppl as Kazaa. so is there Spy/Scum ware? up to you to find out if it matters. is there a security threat? most hardcore skype users are Gamers and lots of them buy a cheap PC, almost bareboned to run skype and only skype. I like it, but I also bought a cheap $99 pc just for skype. just in case... because of the horror stories I've heard. nuff said.

stavan · 08-17-2004, 08:04 AM
