Skype is soft­ware for call­ing other peo­ple on their com­put­ers or phones. Down­load Skype and start call­ing for free all over the world.

The calls have excel­lent sound qual­ity and are highly secure with end-to-end encryp­tion. You don’t even need to con­fig­ure your fire­wall or router or any other net­work­ing gear.
Skype is jam-packed with great fea­tures to help you stay in touch with friends, fam­ily and co-workers, share your thoughts and find the infor­ma­tion you need.

Just for starters you can instant mes­sage with any­one on your con­tact list or even use group chat to chat with up to a hun­dred peo­ple. You could hold a con­fer­ence call with up to nine other peo­ple to organ­ise a get-together and then use SkypeFind to search for the per­fect venue to hold it.
