OK, this is probably the dumbest question ever, but what exactly is Skype? Is it a phone service? And, how much does it cost? (I live in Canada). I am just wondering how it works - my husband has cell phone bills over $500 a month (he is a truck driver). Also, I would like to know how to use it as I see a lot of mention of it and would like to have it in my online business. Thanks for any help you can give me! Marie
Hey, Skype has two main functions. For one it is an instant messenger so you can chat with friends on your list just like you do in other IM'er. Skype is known for its voice quality it has amazing voice quality. So you can voice chat with friends on your list or it also proves to be quite handy for holding conferences. They even have a facility which allows you to call up any number in the world and those rates are cheaper. Just download Skype and give it a try. Hope this helps, Vyom
OK, so it is computer based? Is it possible to talk from computer to cell phone - is there a special phone or anything? Once you have it on your computer, you can "chat" with a bunch of people? Sorry for all the questions! I really would like to try it if I can figure it out. Thanks! Marie
