How Often Do You Use Skype?

DeluxeNames

So I may be a little late for the party, but i like using www.Skype.com.

How many of you also use Skype? If so, how often and who do you talk to on it?

Yeah i use Skype, pretty often like every week, i normally just use it for PC to PC call since you hear it really awesome, it's not like Instant Messengers etc.

I have Skype installed, but I've never actually bothered to use it as I'd have to actually... you know... talk to people :P
IRC and forums are more my kind of thing.

LOL, I understand. But I bet your joking, no? You don't like to talk to people via phone? How come?

I'm just not a very chatty person and I'm much better with a keyboard.
It's also a fair bit harder to say code than it is to type it, and coding makes up a fair amount of the stuff I do online.
I have a mobile phone if I need to ring anyone (ok, so I've probably got 4, but who's counting?) and generally, the whole idea of being tied to a PC for the sake of free calls to the limited number of people you know that use Skype just doesn't do anything for me.
Most of my time spent talking on the phone is just me saying I might be home late or that I've done something I set out to do (such as selling something while I'm out in the city center).

I have it installed, but dont actually know anyone that uses it. Plus, even if I did, people have enough trouble understanding me on the phone thanks to my apparantly hard to understand scottish accent :-S

Did you know that in the U.S., until the end of the year, you can call from Skype to any landline or cell phone for free. It's also free to receive calls from landlines and cell phones to your Skype number. After the beginning of the year, you will have to pay.

LOL, you'd be very popular here in the US with your Scotish accent. People in the US think English/Scottish accents are very sophisticated, cool.

Ive had it installed for a while now, but I've maybe only made 2 calls.

I love Skype really a lot. It's great Nice connection too, the call quality is great!

My ex boss had just started bringing Skype into the office for communication with customers. What would've helped is the rest of them being able to use it :banghead:

Moddy noooo, dont say that, they are handy for yelling at men down, when they say they have an appointment somewhere and end up spending hours swilling beer in a pub, whilst the significant other spends hours cleaning up THEIR mess, while suffering with trapped nerves in their necks and shoulders, just because the inlaws are dropping in uninvited for the weekend (and between us and the forum, just a bit unwanted this time too.)

So no, dont destroy all the phones just yet
