Skype is an internet phone service that is FREE for the basic service, and a minimal charge if you wish to have a phone number assigned to you where you can receive landline calls and obtain a voice mail account. But to call from computer to computer via internet is no cost! This service differs from other ‘talk’ internet programs because it isn’t like a walkie talkie where you press a button to talk, and then the other person talks. Instead you can have dynamic phone conversations that have exactly the same feel as a landline conversation. You get an instant messenger style buddy list, and then you can start making free calls to anyone on your list who also has the program. One of the best features of the program is the conference call where you can invite 2 or more people to join the conversation. This application has all kinds of potential, and is the first program I have felt comfortable suggesting for use to business associates. Other landline conference call companies are quite costly, and this the first real internet option that I’ve found and it’s absolutely free for the basic service (which I think is all you really need anyway). You can download the 2.0 software for free at www.skype.com.
