Download, register and use, simple as. Free calls between other Skype users. I thought it could be useful if you know someone is online (ie. on here) and you needed to chat in person, but for no money

Someone already had my SNet username so if anyone wants me it's "corrado_boy".

 

No-one interested

 

seems like I prefer smoke signals for communication

 

been using it since jan 04 and its bang on... tried it becouse of our interest in voip... my mate's been calling is buddy in Os for ages and he calls some farm in the middle of nowhere for an hour a time... it costs... next to nothing...for the breakout calls, obvioulsy free to other skypers...

I'm techss
here's a good one,,, i was sat in Munich airport on a wireless hotspot with bluetooth headset with skype on my laptop talking to 4 people 3 in the states and one in the uK... worked a treat too...

dazza...
hows it run on the mac mate...?

 

Launch it on yours and I'll give it a try I've not found anyone else yet using it

 

Right seems like i may need to move with the times , CB ill try to see ya on the meet if not Dazza may be able to give some info..

 

I have registered Well I think

MickWrx theres a suprize Dave sent you a small message ????

 

Yeah ! It works Just chatted to Mick

Clear as a bell, easy and convenient, and best of all FREE

 

Just to echo David's post, Works perfectly well, clear quality and FREE

There is a conference facility on there too, pretty soon we can hold mid month gatherings on skype just getting everyone online no I am not been serious but the application for the club could have some value.

oh and where are the rest of you!! its free

 

You can use any mic and speakers connected to the PC. I'm using the built in ones in my lappy, and Mick is using what's built into his webcam, so you might not need to buy headsets or anything.

Conference calls could make meets a thing of the past

 

Tried it on mi PDA, and it works fine with PPC 2002, but they haven't engineered it yet for Windows Mobile 5....

So, it's back to Orange and the new SPV m5000...

 

works a treat

mad_grip skype name

 

Phil & guys - what sort of headset/interface you using...? Last time I tried Skype (about 9 months ago at Dazza's insistence), the delay/latency was truly cr*p.....

 

So, who else is Skyped up then...??

Downloaded the latest Windows Mobile 5 beta. Works a treat.

 

So far it's...

Me
Thee
Dazza
Phil
Al
Mick

Sticky is awaiting Dazza getting him a USB headset.

Anyone else wanna join in

 

Sticky's got it on his new I-Mate Jam Butty....

 

I have been using Skype for 3 months now at work and it is quite good although sometimes the quality of the calls can be a bit hit or miss - sometimes good sometimes its awful.

We have suppliers in the states and when we ring them it costs nowt, i'm sure it will catch on!

To receive calls it costs $30 a year. calls to normal landlines is the same and obviosuly Skype to Skype is free

 

My thoughts exactly when I tried it at the start of the year. 10 meg NTL connection is helping things along now though....

 

BTW for the best quality you need to use a USB headset or handset...
If i can RoB... sorry borro a few from somewhere i'll have a go... :-)

 

Blimey - I've been authorised... About time...

 

Just found out, you can list your Skype contact details on your Scoobynet User Profile now It shows in your public profile under "instant messaging" and when clicked opens up options to call, IM etc

 

It also sticks an unsightly red cross in a white box below your user name and throws the whole page off balance

...but then I'm using one of those inferior PC things, aren't I?
