Using Skype for International Long Distance

Chat and make free phone calls

When you have a webcam, you can make free video calls to other people on Skype. Get a new High Quality Video webcam. Make the clearest, sharpest, Skype video calls yet.

Headsets are great for hands-free internet calls from your computer. And there’s all kinds – plug-in, cordless, big and small on the Skype website too.

When others don't have Skype

You buy an online number in one of over 20 locations and your friends, family or business contacts can call that number and only pay for a standard rate call (if they are in the same country as your online number) – the online number uses the internet to route the call and so saves them money. It makes absolutely no difference wherever you are, you can pick up the call at no cost to you wherever in the world you are logged into Skype. Click here to get your unique SkypeIn number

Making calls without a computer

Skype is now built in on some portable WiFi phones so you can use Skype away from your computer – at home, at the office, in a coffee shop, or anywhere else. If you don't want to have to have your PC on to make and receive Skype calls, then you should consider either a Wifi Skype phone, which will connect directly to your wifi router, and can also be used outside of your house at any wifi hotspot which doesn't use browser-based authentication, or a cordless dual mode Skype phone.

Wifi: Try one of these 4 choices:

the Belkin Wi-Fi Phone for Skype with Boingo Hot Spot Manager ( F1PP000GN-SK ),

the SMC Networks Wi-Fi Phone for Skype,

the Linksys WIP320 Linksys Wireless-G Skype iPhone

or the Netgear Sph101 Skype Wifi Voip Wireless Cordless Phone.

Cordless phones: These look and work just like your traditional phone, only much better, because you can call on Skype as well as on your landline.

Cordless dual mode: There are quite a few now, such as the DUALPhone 3088,

the Netgear Dual Mode Cordless Phone with Skype(SPH200D),

or Philips VOIP841 PC-Free DECT 6.0 Wireless IP Phone.

There's also the Linksys CIT400 Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit with Integrated Skype
