Skype is still a very solid international phone calling provider, it was one of the first to start video conference rooms, but is slower than newest version of chat rooms is still good
I wish I could give a higher rating, but I feel after every release, Skype is getting worse and worse. Granted I use it, and it's great for what I need, but when you start bloating it with ads everywhere, and limiting GUI options and the interface, it becomes very frustrating. The PC version is ok, but the OSX version is horrid. Skype 2.0 was the golden version. Once they went 5.0, it started getting bad.
When I want to get in touch with my family and friends, I use Skype. I have it in my laptop and phone. The service is excellent. When I went on a Eurotrip with friends, I use it to call my mom and dad. Simply the best.
Great site, we couldn't do this ten years ago!
I remember a story a friend of mine once told me - he attended a semiar on web developement and the company wanted investment do develope new websites.
He came away from that and said to me 'talking over computers, that will never take off!'
How little he knew!
I have a bunch of friends in australia and new zealand that i keep in touch with voice-wise via skype. It saves a ton of loney and is pretty reliable. I wish the pay plans were simply freee but i cant reaalllly expect that. My only real complaint is that the signal goes out once in a while.
From my experience, Hangout sucks. I work remotely with a team of three other people, and one person with a relatively new MacBook Air constantly has issues with getting his camera working with it. Plus there is its annoying habit of deciding when to mute or unmute you, which wouldn't be so bad if there was a way to switch it back without being focused in the Hangout window.
In fact, we have gotten so fed up with Hangouts that we are moving TO Skype. One person is going to get a premium account, which will allow us to duplicate most of what we use Hangouts for.
I~m using the Skype mobile version for a long time already and completely satisfied with it no matter at work or home conversations. A good app for various needs.
I totally love Skype and I have no problems with it. I enjoy the video calls and I would love to use Skype as my VoIP communications however, I will just use it for free before subscribing their services for now.
I sometimes have serious lag when I talk to my friends in Malaysia.
As for the video option, can't really say anything, since I don't even own a webcam.
Thank you for inventing skype. The skype and social networks helped me finding relatives which I hadn't seen before in my life. And most of all it's free :)
I have a 7" EMATIC e-Glide Steal that comes with a forward facing camera. This is what I tried to download and use SKYPE on. For some reason SKYPE works great on my laptop and it worked great on my old desktop, but the tablet is another story. It seems to see the tablet as a telephone and refuses to access the camera. I tried to use my current account, which it could not recognize on the tablet; I tried to set up a new account, which it refused to see as anything except a telephone, so I gave up and deleted it. Maybe it is the hardware that poses a problem, I don't know, but in my opinion SKYPE is not the same on a tablet as it is on your PC. Be warned to avoid the frustration I went through.
