Skype FAQ

Skype™ is a fun and easy to use software that enables you to make free and inexpensive internet calls to anyone,

anytime, anywhere around the globe. It's as simple as downloading Skype's free software with the people you'd like to

communicate with and you're all on your way to free calling. Call anyone, anywhere in the world from family back home,

friends in different countries, to business partners throughout the globe and talk for as long as you'd like for free!

Skype™, founded in 2003 and now an E-bay owned company, is the world's leading service provider of Voice Over

Internet Protocol (VoIP), the technology that takes advantage of sending and receiving calls over your high-speed internet

connection.

To get started, simply download Skype's free software on to a computer with high speed internet access and start talking

using a microphone (built-in or headset) and speakers. VoIP calls can also be made using a traditional handset, by either

attaching an analog telephone adapter (ATA) to a regular phone or by using a special IP phone available in USB, Bluetooth

or WI-FI supported models. With the growing number of hotspots available in public locations such as airports, hotels and

cafes, making calls on the go is also possible through the use of a laptop or other wireless enabled devices.
