Phone Bills are out, and if you still find them in your postal mail – you will need to get up to speed on a few points. Phone bills are a left-over from the last millennium!

Make Video Calls With Skype

It is not that long ago most of us looked very suspicious when someone said we would not need to stamp and post letters anymore. We could send our letters for free on something called the Internet and the letters would even be posted immediately! Let’s admit it; it did sound a bit Sci-Fi.

Never-the-less; as we speak e-mail is part of daily life to most of us.

Something equivalent is happening right now to communication technology.

You do not need to pay any more telephone bills! Never again. Finito – over and out! Got it??

The old telephone companies that send telephone bills to people are endangered. British Telecom disclosed the truth recently that it would cost them an expense of 10 billion pounds just to catch up on “The Skype Revolution.”

Skype is a computer program that enables anyone with a broadband access to make free phone calls to other Skype users anywhere in the world with an incredibly good audio quality.

You can make use of Skype with a headset (microphone and headphones) or, since November 2004, with a wireless phone, which is connected to the USB port of your laptop or computer as well as the usual telephone jack.

Today, Skype is one of the world’s fastest growing telecommunication providers with more than 147 million users who have downloaded the software program so far, and 47 million documented users. The figure is escalating with 400.000 new downloads per day which means that the figures are already ancient when you read this!

What you need to begin using Skype is a broadband connection, and of course a computer, and then you must download Skype for FREE.

Right after you have done that you can call for free to other Skype users worldwide, if you have got a headset (with microphone & headphones).

Where Skype is really brilliant is when you buy a DUAL phone, which connects to equally the computer and telephone, because now you have a phone where people can carry on with calling you, as they have done so far, and where you can phone both Skype users and Non Skype users.

How do Skype generate profits on free telephone calls, you might think? They do this with a service they call “Skype Out”, but prices are lower than you probably have found anywhere before.

The price for most of the western world is 0,017EURO – or put it another way, for just under 2 cent a minute you can now call anybody with a fixed line in your country or possibly an old lover in a far away country.

Let us just for the sake of simplicity, outline the opportunities;

Skype to Skype (Here you can call for free to other Skype users across the world).

Skype Out (Here you can call non Skype users in most of the Western world for less than 2 cent a minute. Your communication are paid up-front no overwhelming phone bills).

Skype In (For only 30EURO a year you can buy yourself a fixed line telephone number so people can call you. Let’s assume you live in Spain, but your family lives in the UK. You then order a fixed line UK phone number and Voila: your family in the UK can phone you at a local fee. Perfect – eh?)

Stay tuned! There’s a lot more to pass on about your potential with Skype.

Were you aware that you can now get Skype on your mobile? It’s still not available worldwide but definitely worth checking out whether it is applicable to your country or not . Just think what you will save on calls when you travel!

And the last thing: you can make free video calls too and actually see the one you speak with live.

The bottom line is: You can make free phone calls worldwide with Skype-2-Skype & fixed line phones worldwide for pennies with Skype-Out and finally everybody can call your Skype from around the world only paying a local rate if you get an online number with Skype-In.

It is really great!
