I figured I better get this one in the database before someone questions me on why it’s not there. Skype is an online company allowing it’s users to talk for free to anyone else with a Skype account. It’s a free service, although you need to be registered with Skype and download their software. So theoretically, you could talk to someone across the globe for free. Either by wifi phone or by computer mics etc. This isn’t anything new for travellers, as most backpackers knew abou this a long time ago. In fact it’s one of the oldest online sites that I still know and use.
