Anyone Hear Of Or Use Skype.com?
 

http://www.skype.com/

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

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. :(

Works great !:thumbsup

sounds good

agree. the sound quality is amazing no matter how far the distance is. and its free. :thumbsup

any scumware on it?

Works well.

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.

works well if you have high speed internet

skype kicks major ass because of the mpg4 compression they're using... it works even on dial-up lines

Hear Hear :Graucho
I hate ISDN

i use it and i like it!!

NO

they make money by selling their technology to big telecommunication companies afaik

yeah i use to use skype all the time to talk to my friends out of state... great tool:thumbsup

I use skype from time to time and a very happy with it! :thumbsup

Skype is great

I've been using it for a while to call my friends and such, but lately I'm not using it much.. the phone works better :winkwink:

using it right now, works perfectly :thumbsup

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

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

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.

Best IP phone i ever used!!! includes conference call, text msg's, u name it...

the sounds quality will blow you away... excellent tool:)

www.stanaphone.com it's just better :thumbsup

same here,





ooow wait I'm talking to you :Graucho

We use it and the quality rocks! :thumbsup

sucks that you cant call a house phone for free from it

I've heard of it before. Which phones do you guys use with it? As I'm looking to get one.
