22 important benefits
from installing and using the free service SKYPE
1. FREE: You can speak
free of charge with more than 900 million SKYPE users all over the world ( including me J )
In one day people worldwide talk more than 2 billion
minutes on Skype. This is 3.805 days.
2. DOWNLOAD: The programme is
FREE – and it takes 3 minutes to install: www.skype.com You can download it to your computer and
also as a free app to your smartphone.
3. MORE PERSONS can speak and
listen in both ends of the conversation
4. FREE TELECONFERENCES: You
can with SKYPE easily make a free telephone conference with up to 100
participants. A smaller number is probably more managable !
5. VIDEO: With a web
camera ( either in your laptop/netbook/smartphone already or easy to
install via your USB connection) you can be seen by the people you talk to. And
you can see them live, if they also have a web cam at their end
6. With your camera you can
also take photos of the people you talk to. You find your photos afterwards in
your Snapshot Gallery
7. CHAT: You can free of
charge CHAT with all other SKYPE users in a small box, which you write
in very easily – and click: Then your friend at the other end has got your
message on his screen, if his computer is open. If not, your message will
appear when he or she opens the computer next time
8. SKYPE FIND: You can very
easily find other SKYPE users in a simple catalogue, which covers the
whole world. You click on Search and write their name or their SKYPE name, if
you have that. And there they are.
9. TO ALL FIXED PHONES: With
SKYPE you can also call normal fixed phones all over the world. At the
moment it costs 0,89 € for 60 minutes or 1,69 € for 120 minutes -– wherever you
call to.
10. FREE TO FIXED PHONES WITH
CHEAP SUBSCRIPTION: For the amount of about 5,99 € a month you can from Skype
call all fixed phones in 24 European countries for free. As often as you like.
And as long as you like.
Instruction: Open SKYPE; Open TOOLS; Open: Go to my
Account Page; Sign In; Click on: Call Phones; Select: Unlimited Europe Settings
It’s called EUROPE PACKAGE.
11. WORLD-WIDE: For the
monthly amount of 10.49 € you can do the same to all fixed phones in
170 countries worldwide
12. TO MOBILE PHONES: You can
also call all mobile phones in the world directly from SKYPE. It will
cost you more than calling a fixed phone. But much less than calling from a
mobile phone. But if you call a person
with Skype installed on her or his phone it is free.
13. SMS:You can also send
sms massages (text messages) from SKYPE. It is much easier from the
computer than from a normal mobile phone. It costs about 4 - 12 cents per
message in Europe. The price differs from country to country. You can also send FAXES from SKYPE.
14. AUTOMATIC TRANSFER: You
can transfer your incoming calls automatically to your normal phone or
to your mobile phone, if your SKYPE is not open
Instruction: Open SKYPE; Click on TOOLS; Then click on
OPTIONS in the buttom; Click on Call Forwarding & Voicemail ( at the buttom
): In the Call Forwarding settings: make
a mark and add your phone number (
remember 00 in front )
Each time an incoming call reaches you this way you
automatically pay a small amount from your Skype account.
But it means that people can ALWAYS
call you on Skype even if you are not anywhere near your computer J
15. VOICE MAIL: You can also
get a SKYPE Voice Mail ( answering machine ), where people under all
circumstances can leave you a message
16. SKYPE-IN ON-LINE
NUMBER: You can through Skype also buy
a normal telephone number in another country than where you live. They call
it an on-line number, because the call to you goes via the internet. This is possible in the following countries
in Europe:
UK,
France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Malta, Hungary, Poland,
Estonia, Ireland, Netherlands, and Romania.
More to come.
And you can also buy such local numbers in the
following countries outside Europe: US,
Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, South Africa, Brazil, Chile
and Mexico.
This makes it
possible for your friends and contacts in those countries (if they do not
use SKYPE ) to call you on this number and only pay local phone price. And you
will receive their call on SKYPE. This service will cost you 50 € per year per number. Or 15 € for 3
months. Independently of how much it is used. This service is called SKYPE IN. I have myself such a number in Denmark: 3698 0830
17. WIRELESS SKYPE PHONES: If
you don’t like sitting near your computer, when you want to SKYPE somebody, you
can buy a wireless phone, which works with SKYPE all over the house – and
in your garden J There are several products.
Mine is called “Olympia”. It also works like a normal wireless phone.
18. WiFI SKYPE PHONES: You
don’t even need to open your computer to use SKYPE. You just buy one of the new
WiFi portable phones, which work with SKYPE. One of the first
came from the company “Netgear”. Mine is a “Samsung Galaxy III smartphone”. I
am very satisfied with it. You have to
have a WiFi network to be able to use it. And you can use it on all Internet
Hotspots and everywhere, where you one way or the other can get access to a WiFi
network. All at no cost.
19. SKYPE ON MOBILE
PHONES: Now also available, esp. On
smartphones. Download the free app called Skype. And you are automatically
linked up to your Skype account with its contacts etc., if you log in with your
Skype login and password (just necessary
to do once). It means that if you are in
a WiFi zone anywhere in the world you can with Skype on your smartphone talk
for free with people around the world.
20. Last, but not least:
YOUR SKYPE ACCOUNT: Create an
account and upload money ( for subscriptions, for calls to fixed and mobile
phones ):
· Go to SKYPE account
· Click on Buy SKYPE Credits
· Select 10 € or 25 €
· Insert your SKYPE password
· Pay with your credit card
· You can also arrange that
money is transferred from your credit card, when the account is down to 2 €
21. Remember always to
download the NEWEST SKYPE programme. By doing so it automatically erases the
old version. And you keep all your contacts and settings automatically, of
course.
22. Use the very good on-line
HELP button when need. Lots of other interesting services on SKYPE like games, etc.
So – dear friends: WHAT
ARE YOU WAITING FOR ??
