SKYPE


Skype is a VoIP service that enables people to make and receive free voice and video calls over the internet using a computer, web browser, or mobile phone. Whether you're working from home or looking for a way to chat with others using video, Skype has broken traditional barriers to communication

 Skype to Skype calls are free anywhere in the world. You can use Skype on a computer, mobile phone or tablet*. If you are both using Skype, the call is completely free. Users only need to pay when using premium features like voice mail, SMS texts or making calls to a landline, cell or outside of Skype.

Skype is software that enables the world's conversations. Millions of individuals and businesses use Skype to make free video and voice one-to-one and group calls, send instant messages and share files with other people on Skype. You can use Skype on whatever works best for you – on your mobile, computer or tablet.

  •  How do I make a call in Skype?

  2. Select the contact you want to call, and then select the audio or video. button. ...
  3. At the end of a call, select the end call. button to hang up.

 You do not need to have a webcam to make calls with Skype. Skype, an Internet-based calling and video chat service, uses webcams to send video feeds to other people on the call.

 Skype is usually free; however, if you want to use Skype to call someone's cell phone or landline in the US, you can use a subscription that starts at $2.99 a month. You also have the option to buy Skype Credit to make phone calls, if you don't need the amount of minutes available with the monthly subscription

You can use Skype without Wi-Fi. Make sure that you have mobile data enabled, you're within range of a mobile phone tower, and your phone plan includes mobile data. Skype uses only a little mobile data for video calls, and even less if you're making audio calls.

All Skype-to-Skype voice, video, file transfers and instant messages are encrypted. This protects you from potential eavesdropping by malicious users. However, after you have listened to a voice message, it is transferred from our servers to your local machine, where it is stored as an unencrypted file.
