Is it me or does Skype suck? - GoFuckYourself.com

I tried to send a buddy of mine a msg even though he is offline and a second later i get an error saying that the msg can not be delivered
So you cant send anyone a msg who is offline and have it delivered to him when he comes online again?

Is this really the case or am i doing something horrible wrong here?

I think skype is fantastic, never had an issue with it.

XxXotic · 05-07-2006, 07:13 AM

you have to leave voicemail I think... try upgrading skype, you might have an older version

Can I leave a voicemail to my friend/contact even if he is not online?
Yes. If your friend is offline or even if their computer isn't on, you can still leave a message and they can retrieve it the next time they log on to Skype.

skype is the best there is but why don't you have messenger, icq or miranda running on the side?

Trax,

what's up man..long time no speak!

You can leave a text message on skype. It says that it is not delivered YET. Once the person comes online they will see those messages you sent.

Matiz · 05-07-2006, 09:38 AM

Yes, skype sucks for me - cpu load goes to 100% when voice is on

Hentaikid · 05-07-2006, 05:53 PM

uh, skype works fine for calls to landlines, my main use for it. I don't think it's intended as a text messaging program

Webby · 05-07-2006, 05:56 PM

Just finished a two hour international conference call on Skype with 4 people and it worked fine - and cost nothing!

I was going to say that personally, I don't use it. But I know KRosh uses it religiously.

skype is awesome! i like the free japanese girls it comes with!

stickyfingerz · 05-07-2006, 06:05 PM

We use it for work since im in Nashville, and they are all in Philly. We have full office meetings on Skype. Works great. I just hope they will add the ability to do video conferences with more than one person soon.

Skype suck ...

topnotchxxx · 05-10-2006, 02:42 PM

I've never tried Skype before but I did see the computer stores selling Skype phones. Are they worth the whole or a good pair of headset would do the trick ?

kmanrox · 05-10-2006, 02:44 PM
