Who's on Skype???

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

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.

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.
