What is Skype?
Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users – not to share files this time, but to talk and chat with your friends.

The technology is extremely advanced – but super simple to use... You’ll be making free phone calls to your friends in no time!

Features
Free unlimited worldwide phone calls to other Skype users
Superior sound quality
Works with all firewall, NAT and routers – nothing to configure!
Friends list shows you when your Skype friends are online and ready to talk or chat
Super-simple and easy to use
Your calls are encrypted “end-to-end” in order to safeguard your privacy
Based on cutting edge peer-to-peer technology developed by the creators of Kazaa and Joltid

It's not only a P2P phone, you can also use its SkypeOut function to make calls to friends who only have a landline or mobile phone anywhere in the world at local rates.

Since were talking about telephony related stuff, I have been looking for a great VMB and IVR to use (voice message broadcast and interactive voice recognition, respectively) with my voice modem. For the VMB, I need preditive dialing, cuz I want to dial and leave message only to voicemail and play a "oh i got the wrong number" when someone picks up. If anybody know of a good software to use and I am able to download, please let me know, thanks.

Those kazaa-guys know what to devellope! A nice creation it is, skype. I use it often and i have to admit, I like the concept and it saves me a lot of money. btw just like kazaa. I wonder what their next creation will be.

skype is awesome, I used it for the past two years to call back home and works perfectly. Good quality sound, easy to set up (parents don't always know how to do things!) and best of all FREE!

The only thing it lacks is a webcam feature, for that I need to use MSN, but then again, nothing is ever perfect
