Skype Internet Phone

First off, the topic of an Internet phone is almost too much of a “loaded” tip, but I thought I would spread the benefits of it anyway in a brief, tip-like manner.

Many of you may current be using, or tried Skype in the past, but it goes without saying, this is a fantastic program. Basically what it allows you to do is have your computer act as a phone using only your PC microphone and speaker. This voice over IP (VOIP) model allows you to make phone calls, absolutely free to any other Skype user around the World. Once you have the program installed, you can then use it to chat with any of the over 170 million users for free. If you constantly make international calls, this is definitely worth consideration!

If you want more details on exactly how Skype works, be sure to check out Wikipedia’s page on Skype. This should help answer any questions you may have.
