Skype has very easy and convenient way of making calls, all you have to do is just choose the person you wish to call and press on the “Call” button, and you are connected. Some testing calls were made to check the quality of sound during a call and the results were satisfactory with a few exceptions. Dialogues were comprehensible most of the time with brief periods of disturbance which were not major enough to disrupt the entire conversation. The speakerphone option is also available although it still needs some upgrading and you can mute or pause the call when you feel like.
You can view the caller ID and the picture of the caller while taking the call and can add a new caller to your contact list.
You can chat with multiple people at the same time; though, you cannot exchange photos or files, which is a problem that needs to be addressed.
Calls made to Skype from Skype are free of charge, but you will be charged for making calls to landline and cell phone numbers. You can pay through Skype Credit and you will be charged according to the duration and destination of call.
Thus, Skype is the most cost effective and practical Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) service of today.
