How many people have this?

Is it any good?

I use it at work...its not bad, as long as you get a decent USB Phone.

I use it a lot to talk to family in Manhester and my sister in New Zealand. I think its brilliant and I just use the inbuilt mic and speakers in my laptop.
And the best bit, its absolutely free!

I've got it. Use it to talk to my family back home and I think it's great (although I only use the free computer-computer service).

We've also started using it at work for international calls in order to cut costs

i use it for gaming, its a lot better than ventrillo

its not bad as an alternative to msn chat too

I use it to talk to all my kids at uni for free and to my family in China for less than 1 and 1/2 pence a minute
Rates from PC to land line here. Bargain!

I use it on my iMac, and as it has a built in mic and camera, I didn't need anything additional. It just worked 1st time. I like it, I can make a call while i' working on the computer, it's also good for video chats too.

Got it, use it, love it.

Been using skype for 12 months now. My friend works in Holland, so we speak a few times a week on it. Saves me a fortune, no more costly calls.

Good to pass the time by phoning random people. :)
