| 422437 | 2006-01-19 08:09:00 | Say if someone in USA wants to call me via Skype, or if I want to call them, is it really free or do the greedy piggies at Telecom charge me something? Sorry, wasn't sure where to post this. Thanks |

| 422438 | 2006-01-19 08:25:00 | Yes it is free for PC to PC calls. SkypeOut calls from PC to landline anywhere in the world are about 3cents per minute. I've used both. Sound quality is very good. | Bazza (407) | ||

| 422440 | 2006-01-19 11:36:00 | I saw someone buying a bluetooth headset off me and pairing it with an imac computer who uses it for skype.The sound quality was like normal phone call | Ninjabear (2948) | ||
| 422441 | 2006-01-20 05:12:00 | Many thanks for the info folks. I'll give my 56k line a whirl, otherwise I'll visit one of my rellies and use their 2Mb broadband. One other question...two actually: - what sort of headset/mic will do the job? Dick Smith? - Can I use the soundcard built into the mobo? Cheers :) |

| 422442 | 2006-01-20 06:50:00 | Any sound card and Headpone/Microphone combo will do the trick. The only problem is making sure you have a decent microphone and speakers | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 422443 | 2006-01-20 07:02:00 | Thanks bob_doe_nz. | braindead (1685) | ||
| 422444 | 2006-01-20 07:27:00 | Why would he need "decent speakers" Bob? Although I have decent speakers, it is recommended to use headphones rather than speakers for Skype. This is because speakers can cause the other person to hear an echo of their voice at their end. A headset/mic is the best option. | Bazza (407) | ||
