silencer13 Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 It's only free if you call Skype to Skype. For Skype to normal lines/mobile, there are certain charges, but still very cheap. All you need is to get the Skype software: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/windows/ You don't actually need a Skype phone per se, as long as you got a speaker/earphone and a mic it will work. Of course, a Skype phone makes it easier somewhat. Some models even allow you to connect both a landline and a PC, so you can get best of both worlds. I bought mine at Sim Lim. There's an outlet called Skylet, they have a lot of different phones at the back of the shop, where all the networking stuff are. (I won't say they are the cheapest though, so shop around)
Quest88 Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 i have the linksys iphone and been using it. pretty gd. the new model can allow u to skype even when the PC is off i think, just by connecting to network.. thats the best feature. of course it also allows u to connect to normal landline. for calls to landline, its still v cheap. much cheaper than overseas calls. anyway, starhub has a free digital line for home use if u are subscriber, and singtel also got this service where u can get free calls on ur mobile if u are connected to wifi, but u pay a monthly fee. so depends what u want.
ntuc Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 If u got a pc with internet, just download into ur computer and run. opposite party also must have this software install on their pc in order to have free calls. have a headset with microphone and u can talk as much as u like free! this is how i talk to my supplier overseas. haha. but i think to other phones etc.. need money.
