I already use Viber, but if my wife is not in a hot spot or home, she cant receive it. But on the occasion i need to use an sms and it fails, it is worrying

Why are people hung up on SKYPE, it very rarely is as cheap as the alternatives

Example: voipcheap.com, text to Phil 2.8 pence including VAT (Skype 4.3p), land line calls 7p (Skype 13 )and to mobiles 9 pence (Skype 16.2) per min.

AND SKYPE ALSO CHARGE A CONNECTION FEE of 7.9 p

Voipcheap, NO CONNECTION CHARGE


Other VOIP services may be even cheaper

PS for those who are not aware. Often people use the word SKYPE when meaning VOIP ( voice over internet protocol) rather like say HOOVER when they mean vacuum cleaner.

Very true, but if used PC to PC it is free, along with some sort of a picture if wished. That is really what it's for I think.

That's true, but then there are so other alternatives which are free when you use PC to PC



And, for example voipcheap.com is free to land-lines to around half the world. Many of my wife's family in ROP don't have their own PC, but they all have land-lines or mobiles.

I have had a SKYPE account for many years but seldom (almost never) use it.

Good post. All Skype users are doing is contributing more to the Microsoft coffers
