What is Skype?

Skype is a little piece of software that allows you to make free calls to friends and family who are also on Skype, anywhere in the world. But just because they're free calls, doesn't mean you're compromising call quality. Skype calls are as clear as your normal phone, if not clearer. Also, Skype allows you to make free video calls. These are a great way of keeping in touch with family members, friends or colleagues, who are living in different towns and cities across the globe.

Skype uses a technology known as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) that sends your voice conversation over the internet. It does this by converting your voice into data so that it can be transmitted and received by the recipient.
