How to Buy Skype VoIP

Skype is an innovative VoIP product that allows users to make free phone calls to every other Skype user over the Internet. The basic VoIP technology is similar to other VoIP service providers except that this service is available for free. It is limited to Skype users, but there is a charge/fee if the calls are made on regular phones. Another aspect is that it requires you to download its own software and you can make phone calls with minimum equipment requirement.

Tips & Warnings

  • Make sure you are able to operate Skype using the operating system of the device you install it on. Currently, Skype is available for Windows 2000, XP, Pocket PC, Mac OSX and Linux.

  • Do not disconnect your existing phone line, as Skype cannot be used for emergency dialing such as 911. Hence it is not a telephone replacement service.
