Who's on Skype???

[Guido]

Know Weeksy and Chicken use it but who else is on..?

Looks like a cracking piece of kit. Tis simillar to MSN Mesenger but you can use it like a phone over your broadband connection (ie. you don't pay for calls using Skype.....ideal for international calls etc)

I'm was on it, but lost my microphone so Weeksy and me never had great conversations... more listen to's :lol:

I've been meaning to set it up for ages but have never gotten around to it.

It's definitely a good idea!

I have been using it for about six months now most of my calls are to the same people overseas, they now all have it and its saving me an effing fortune. I bought a dual phone and chucked the old one so now I can Skype and Skype out anywhere in the house & garden. I have also got a Skype in number so when I work abroad people can phone me from the UK, they pay a std call to London and I pay sweet FA, better than being fleeced by Vodafone.

Should anyone want to call me... which is unlikely :P

use it loads for international chats, been on it for quite a while and even have a couple of USB handsets too ( one for home, and one for the laptop when travelling)

The handset makes the call a bit more private.

It's great for conference calling too.

Get an i-sight, mine seems to be running very hot though ? DL this Skype aswell !

I've got isights for work and laptop butav only runs on 600 and above g3's and the old imac is a 500:( was using skybe a while ago but there was no-one else using it plus all me mates are on macs so we use ichat. when i'm working in US or taiwan i use ichat to talk to missus everyday, hotel has dsl so its cheaper than a phone call.

Yep, got skype set up on my main machine and my iPaq so I can wirelessly skype around the house :lol:

Also use the Mac for webcam and chat with Welshy's brother who lives in Japan :)

Just installed it lastnight few folks are using at work.
Looks good, not had a voice chat yet though.
