SkypeOut Calls Now Free in North A,merica

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

Skype is perhaps the best known provider of free Internet based phone calls - a service that I use. Skype has also given users the ability to call ordinary landline numbers from the computer but there has always been a charge for the cost of those calls.

However, in challenge to their competitors, Skype has now announced that all US and Canadian based Skype users can now make calls to landline and mobile numbers within North America for free until the end of the year.

Are You Using Skype?

Friday, October 28th, 2005

If, like me, you use Skype then you should be warned there has been some critical flaws uncovered in a recent version of the programme. They actually came to light yesterday and were quickly fixed.

So perhaps you should pop along to the official website and see if you are one of those that needs to download the security patches.

If you are not using Skype then let me tell you that it’s a very handy and very FREE Internet phone programme. All you need is earphones or speakers and a microphone and once you have gone through the easy install procedure for the software you are ready to talk to the world for free.

And you will find it at Skype.com
