- The free calls are only when you are calling exclusively over the internet - so you need to get your friends and family using this too. However, new users are being signed up at a very impressive rate.
- The required software is free - so set-up costs are very low.
- These free PC to PC calls are not just a 'start up promotion'. Quoting from the Skype website "Our ambition is to keep the basic functionality of Skype (PC to PC calls) free forever."
- You have the option to sign up for an additional service called SkypeOut. This allows you to dial land lines in many global destinations for a standard rate per minute. We were very pleasantly surprised to find that this is significantly cheaper than our current rate for UK to UK calls and we get the same rate for international calls as well. The global call rate is just 1.1 pence per minute and allows you to call from the UK to most of the likely global destinations.
- Even better, you just buy credit for Skypeout via the Skype website. No quarterly bills, and you can see exactly what you're spending on the Skype window on your PC whilst you're talking.
Call quality is very good, though this will depend on the speed of your internet link.
- There are also some really nice features - such as support for conference calls (for up to 5 Skype users).
- Remember that this is not a regular phone line, it's working over the internet. So, you don't get a new phone number, you have a skype name, for example mine is 'ricklomas'.
