How to Access Entertainment and Information Services With Skype

If you've never used Skype, then you're missing out on one of the most useful software programs around. Skype allows you to make free calls over the Internet to other Skype members as well as access cheap rates for land line and cell phone calls. In addition, you can receive the latest news and entertainment gossip while using Skype.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Download Skype to your computer. You can download the software at no charge from the Skype homepage. Follow the set up instructions to get started using the service.
2. Test out Skype first. Check your computer's microphone and speakers to make sure that they work properly. Otherwise, your Skype calls will fail.
3. Use the search feature to find entertainment and information services providers. Once you download Skype, you can type your criteria into the search bar to find companies that give callers the latest news and entertainment gossip.
4. Call an entertainment or news line by typing in the number, if you already have a phone number for your news provider. You can then listen to the information provided by the hotline.
5. Find out the charges that you are subject to when using Skype. For non-Skype lines, you pay a per minute rate to listen to the news or entertainment hotline.
