Skype broadband phone. Talk for free with Skype Voice over IP
Connecting to Skype
Skype is a little program for
making free calls over the internet to anyone else who also has Skype.
It’s free and easy to download and use, and works with most
computers.
Skype aims to delight you by offering free global telephony,
to make unlimited, superior quality voice calls via its next-generation
peer-to-peer software. Skype’s mission is providing a simple, reliable and
friendly communications tool that just works. We aim for people to communicate
with friends, families, and colleagues more flexibly, more cost effectively,
and with better sound quality than ever previously imagined.
The rapid
proliferation of broadband, plus Skype, gives anyone around the world real
choice in communications. No longer beholden to one company, choice allows
pioneers the option to make free, unlimited calls using an Internet connection.
The power of the Skype network increases with the numbers of Skype users making
free calls over the Internet.
Skype is promoting further adoption of
high-quality connectivity, and works with world class telecommunications
companies that share the vision to provide better ways for people to
communicate. Skype is working hard and expanding to new platforms, including
mobile devices and handsets. Soon you’ll be Skyping at home, in the office
and on the road.
Skype calls require a PC microphone and speakers, or an
affordable PC headset available at electronics retailers worldwide. Skype is
simple to install regardless of your PC environment and will set up with no
server or workstation configuration. Skype works behind most firewalls and
gateways without providing new security risks.
Internet telephony is in
its infancy and Skype will lead the innovations forward — beyond what we
can imagine today.
