Skype is software for calling other people on their computers or
phones. Download Skype and start calling for free all over the
world.
The calls have excellent sound quality and are highly secure with
end-to-end encryption. You don't even need to configure your
firewall or router or any other networking gear.
Additionally it doesn't just work on Windows. Skype is also for Mac
OS X, Linux and PDAs using Pocket PC, with a native look and feel
for each platform. Talking, sending instant messages or even file
transfers work between different platforms like a charm.
