Does anyone use skype?

I would love to try this with my family espeically my sister.  Has anyone used it? Is it easy? is it really free? do you like it?

Re: Does anyone use skype?

  • I never have, but my SIL does all the time.. It is free, but she paid extra so she could get an actual phone number that real phones could dial in to.  We don't have a webcam and we have cell phones so we don't really have too many people we need to call long distance.

  • I use it and like it.  As long as you don't get the real phone number (like PP mentioned), it is free.  I have a webcam built into my laptop, and I've never had a problem with it.

    2010 Highlights
    9/26 Adirondack Marathon 5:11:37 (major knee pain, but hey, I finished!)

    2011 Races and Results
    5/29 Buffalo Marathon (5:25 - not pretty, just trying not to get heatstroke!)
    9/25 Adirondack Marathon (take 2!)
    One of these days I'll have a good marathon!
  • We use it several times a week with my family and some friends.  I love it.  We don't pay a thing....we call computer to computer using our webcams.  Every once in a while, we have issues with the video quality if there are a lot of people online at the same time, but usually if we just hang up and call again it's better.  We really like it.
  • We use it almost every single day to call my mom and dad.  They get to see Rosie, and we don't waste precious cell phone minutes! 
  • We have it and love it.  My family loves being able to see Abby and I love seeing my nephews.  Like everyone else has said its free as long as you go through your computer using a webcam.  We have never had any trouble with it except a blurry picture every once in a while.
