Ever wanted to call a friend but they live too far away or something and you don’t wanna pay for long distance? Then you’ll like this! Skype is a popular program for voice chatting over your PC. All you need is a microphone and a friend to chat with.

It allows you to talk to your friends for free, (assuming they have a microphone too, of course) as much as you like and without having to worry about charges. One tip: I found you might get echo sometimes unless you and your friend have headphones on. Latest version of Skype also does video calls as well as regular voice calls and text chatting. As an added bonus, I even found the voice quality to be much better than phonecalls, definitely much clearer.

If you want to be able to call regular phones too, you can do it through Skype at a much reduced rate (so those crank calls won’t cost you a fortune anymore!)
