Skype has been my quiet life saver for many months, offering free phone calls via my computer for the lengthy, and previously costly international and interstate communication necessary as a Website Marketing Consultant.

Skype is a little piece of software that lets you make free calls over the Internet. Skype is revolutionizing the telecommunications world by allowing users to make superior quality voice calls to other Skype users (who also have the software installed on their computer) for free. And the clarity of the connection even beats the humble telephone.

Skype is hugely popular and has already had over 100 million downloads of its software - and - daily 150,000 new users join up. Currently, Skype has 33 million active users worldwide.
