To create a free Skype account, you sign up at with either a cell phone number or an email address. In case you're wondering, 'Skype' rhymes with 'type,' and was shortened from its original name 'Sky peer-to-peer.' While Skype has a large number of features, my advice here is focused on the most common (and often overlooked) aspects. Skype also offers some paid services, including the ability to make inexpensive audio calls to landline & cell phone numbers ('SkypeOut'), and to receive incoming phone calls to a Skype-assigned phone number ('SkypeIn'). Skype is free for calls to other Skype users over the internet, making it very popular for staying in touch with friends, family, and business contacts all over the world. In order to do this, the Skype software relies on your device's camera and microphone to capture and transmit your live image and voice, as well as your monitor and speakers to deliver the other person's image and voice to you.

You can make 'calls' and talk to just one person, or add people to a call and have a group conversation or meeting. It supports a variety of devices, including computers (Windows, Macintosh, Linux) and portable devices running iOS (iPhones and iPads), Android, etc.

Skype is an extremely popular online service that lets you talk to other Skype users over the internet in three ways: Using both voice and video, voice only, and instant messaging (i.e., typing back and forth). This person-centred service offers support to those aged between 18 – 65 years of age, who have a physical disability or sensory loss.Skype: The Top Good (and Bad) Things You Should Know
