What is Skpe?!?

Are you tired of long distance phone bills? Is your cell bill just short of the national debt? New to VolIP and wanting to learn as you go. Then check out Skype (http://www.skype.com).

Skype, what is it.
Skype is a small free social networking program, for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and mobile, that allows its users to chat, send sms, send files, webcam, and most important voice call other Skype users. Skype doesn't stop with PC to PC calls you can get a Skype In number so landline and cell users can call you directly on Skype, For a small fee you can Skype Out and call landlines and cell users. Can this save you money and time?

The Benefits of Skype doesn't stop there. Like a lot of social networking programs Skype has attracted 3rd party developers who write plugins allowing you to addon features for PBX, voicemail, call recording, call transfer, call forwarding and much more.

Skype is very careful to tell you use these at your own risk. A ranking system tells you how many people have downloaded the plugin and also it to be ranked from 1 to 5.

I have a client company that uses Skype as in and out of office PBX. More on that in the next review.
