depends what you want to do, as a VOIP app its a bit crap. But if you want free calls its usefull, install it on your phone and call other Skype users for free.

I used it in the USA/Europe, tapped into a WiFi network, quick text home to say turn on the PC. I call that, free calls home....

I have a skype account somewhere, but never use it.  For VoIP, I tend to use a proper/standard VoIP service.

We use to talk to the lad in Auckland, it's cheaper for him to skype us and the line is not too bad .. a little "lag" but you soon get used to it.

SWTSMBO likes it as she actually gets to see him via web cam rather than just chatting on a land line.. :)

That reminds me, I have skype ::) ::) I have used it like msn with the odd member, before I got msn set up. To be honest I use it for sending text messages, as it is cheap than my phone and I hate texting as the buttons are so small, where as typing is easy. I also use the phone side to make calls sometimes, though to land lines, have never made a skype to skype call........ :y

Skype's good. No doubt about it.

If you have 3 mobile, you can use the Skype service. I have called family members in Europe for free from my mobile. :y
