Talk for Free!

Need to stay in touch with family, friends, and even business associates - for free? Skype is the way to go!

We all love something for nothing. With Skype’s free software – which works seamlessly with any internet connection – you can talk, chat, or make video calls with free Skype-to-Skype calls and never worry about cost, time or distance.

You could even hold conference calls with up to nine other people to organise a get-together, hold a meeting, or just talk!

If you add SkypeOut you could also make local, long distance and international calls to regular phones and cell phones.

Video Call for Free!

It’s free to video a ‘hello’

Video calls on Skype, like Skype-to-Skype calls are free, so seeing your friends won’t cost a thing, no matter where they are in the world.

Video calls can make conversations much more interesting and intimate. You don’t have to tell someone about the steps you learned in dance class, just show with High Quality Video.

In just two clicks a ‘hello’ can become ‘wow, you’ve gone blonde’. And if your friend has a webcam too, you can talk face-to-face or just sit there and smile at each other.

Use video for work or business

If you use Skype at work, free video calls can help you to do more business face-to-face. You can build better relationships with clients and suppliers wherever they are in the world. You can also save on travel (and do your bit for the environment, too) as you no longer have to leave your office to meet your contact ‘in person’.

With Skype you can easily set up a video connection between all your offices wherever they are in the world - and all your video calls will be free.

Chat and Instant Message for Free!

Sometimes it's just easier to instant message and chat. With Skype, you can instant message with anyone on your contact list or even use group chat to chat with up to a hundred people!

Public Chat

Public chats can be promoted on blogs, websites, in emails or, even in your mood. When you see one you’re interested in, just click on the link to join. If you can’t find one you’d like to join, simply create your own.

You can have open chats where anyone can come and talk, or you can have press conference-style chats with lots of listeners but few talkers, or entirely closed chats where you will approve each joiner before they can read the messages or topic.

Make and Receive Calls Locally, Nationally, and Internationally

Call Any Phone

Skype offers an optional service (SkypeOut™), that makes it easy and quite cheap to call local, national and international landlines and cell phones directly from Skype, no matter where you are!

Traveling to another country? Call home using any internet connection, and you avoid overseas phone charges. Cell phone signal problems? Call directly from Skype. It's just that easy.

Receive Calls from Any Phone

You could also get an online number (SkypeIn™), which is perfect if you have friends, family or business colleagues who don’t use Skype. Anyone can dial your online number from any landline phone or cell phone – wherever you are in the world.

Plus, you can use voicemail, call forwarding, texting, and faxing for added funtionality!

Currently, Skype has online numbers available for 21 countries!
