There’s so much you can do with Skype – share a bedtime story, host a meeting or take a language class.
Here’s just a few of the great things you can do:

• Free Skype to Skype calls.
  
• Low cost calls and text messages to mobiles and landlines.
  
• Video call on Skype and Facebook.
• Free instant messages to your friends, family and colleagues.
• Send a message you can see, hear and feel with video messaging.

All you need to get started is Windows XP, Vista or 7, a webcam for video calls and a microphone.
System Requirement:

• PC running Windows® XP, Vista or 7, both 32- and 64-bit operating systems.
  
• Internet connection – broadband is best (GPRS is not supported for voice calls).
  
• Speakers and microphone – built-in or separate.
  
• For voice calls we recommend a broadband connection with 100 kbps down / 100 kbps up.
  
• For group video calling everyone on the call needs Skype 5.0 for Windows or Mac or higher plus webcams, and at least one person on the call needs to have a Skype Premium subscription. For best quality we recommend you use a high-speed broadband connection of 4Mbps down / 512kbps up and a computer with a Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz processor. As a minimum you’ll need a high-speed broad connection of 512kbps down / 128kbps up and a computer with a 1 GHz processor.
