Ugh
DON'T talk to me about Skype.
That's the project I'm managing at work.
Making Skype available on a mobile phone.
So anything you want to know about it.......

Re: Skype
I've just downloaded Skype onto my new laptop but sat here with no contacts to add as it appears not the kind of info that's out in the public domain (maybe for good reason). Not sure if any FS have this or even whether it's any good but if you want to hook up, feel free to PM me an address etc.
I do need to get a microphone it appears - so will sort that tomorrow hopefully

Re: Skype
We've used Skype for over a year to keep in touch with our daughter in New Zealand. Saves us a fortune in phone bills and it even allows us to see her from time to time if she manages to get on a PC over there. Even if we have to call her on her mobile, it's less than half the cost of calling her directly. Definitely well worth it.

Skype's been genius this year for us. Their technology has improved visibly over the year too. You do need a reasonably powerful processor though, my 5 year old laptop struggled.
