Publisher's Review:
Skype 3 is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA software, this uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users – not to share files this time, but to talk for free with your friends. The technology is extremely advanced- but super simple to use. You’ll be making perfect quality free phone calls to your friends in no time.
Skype 4 is a little program for making free calls over the internet to anyone else who also has Skype. It’s free (and easy) to download and use and it works with most computers.
With
SkypeOut, you can use Skype to call ordinary phone numbers all over the world.
SkypeIn is a real phone number your friends can call. You pick up the call in Skype 4.
Skype Voicemail lets you direct calls when you’re busy or offline to your voicemail.
Call ordinary phones anywhere in the world from your computer for the price of a local call with SkypeOut. www.skype.com
Skype to phone and phone to Skype. Never miss a Skype 4.0 beta call again.
Skype Forwarder 1.7.4.3 acts as both a telephone and a Skype answering machine. As well it functions as a Skype to phone and phone to Skype gateway. Incoming phone calls can route to TAM or a Skype buddy, while incoming Skype calls can route to TAM or phone. Have a Skype call dial your cell phone.
