Skype - Free calling service

Skype is known best for its free video chatting, allowing communication between users who have the program. Being released in 2003, it's name is derived from the words "sky" and "peer". It is a great messenger for chatting and calling having excellent video quality and voice quality. Global communication has never been this easy, allowing interaction with another, behind your laptop or computer. The requirements to communicate by voice is using a microphone, for videos a webcam, and instant messaging can be simply done by your keyboard. You can also call 'actual' phone numbers, but there is a cost to this service so I recommend to just simply let the other person download Skype and call free of charge. All you have to do is register a username and password, and add some friends and sweet, your good to go.

I personally haven't used Skype in a while, but i used to use it to catch up with a few mates overseas, and we'll just talk for hours like we're actually right in front of each other. Great way to keep connected with people especially when travelling, to save you all the international costs with phone calls.
