SKYPE RULES!!!

Hey everyone...

Skype rules...

Thought that everyone should know this. The delays are minimal and it
doesn't waste time with things like advertisements etc.

What is Skype? Skype is a Voice of IP program that allows you to chat
across the internet.

This is now finally legal in South Africa . Yay. Telkom (the worlds
most expensive telecommunications company) has finally decided to
allow us to make use of the technology.

Wow... now if only they would stop giving us montly quotas on our
internet usage, then keeping in contact with friends would be come
even more cost effective.

How is this relevant to any South African (or somebody who knows
somebody in South Africa).

Well... if you and the person you want to speak to both have Skype...
then when you are both online... you just use Skype to give them a
quick call. Like you would on a telephone.

But what if the person who you want to chat to knows nothing about
computers... thats ok... skype allows you to put in someones phone
number and calls directly to their phone at whatever the local rates
are in that country. That means that if you are in South Africa you
can make virtually free phone calls to family that are over seas.

If you have a Telkom 384 Home ADSL line then your calls work out to
about 8c a minute.

Thats amazing... just a normal local call hear in South Africa is at
least 40c a minute.
An international call to the UK is a couple of Rands per minute.

It also allows you to send the files to each other and allows for
conference calls.

If you want to chat to me, my skype contact name is garethhenry.
