Post by: shadowstar on September 14, 2005, 04:56:31 PM
www.skype.com (http://skype.com/)

basically, it's like using a telephone via the internet except it's free! as long as you and your friend/s has the program (and a mic of course), then you're all set.

I've been using it since it first came out and I love it. the quality is really good, much better than YIM voice chat and all that. and it has (text) chat installed, etc.

if you got it, add me: albapeach

I wonder if the eBay buyout will have any affect on people who just want to use this to talk with friends?  I heard one rumour that said eBay users of Skype could have to deal with a pay-per-use format.

Ooooh, I'm adding people!  Oh, and do check with me on ICQ or MSN or whatever else first before calling, I've already missed a call from Sekushii Biimu, and tried to call her back, and she didn't answer.

Maybe I should play it cool and use the "3rd day" rule?  You know, so I don't sound all needy like, "Remember me from the club last night?  What?  You don't?  We TOTALLY made out!  You don't remember?  No?  Ok, bye.  *sniff*" :lol:

I'm twissrull (I think.. either that or twissie)

I have to say first though that I'm terrified of talking to people on the phone xD I'm trying to get over it, but it's difficult. I'm not on Skype all that much, but I'll be brave and keep myself logged on when I can.

Oh.. also, my English may seem weird o_o;;? I have a tendency to either talk incredibly broken English or lapse into some odd dialect-thingie I got when I went to school in Brighton for three weeks xD I also sometimes sound a bit Scottish I think.. I have no idea :/ Ah well.

Well... You are a good friend and I would therefore, for your sake, refrain from being party to something that would deprive you of your earthly carnal pleasures or lessen the magnitude at which you're enjoying yourself while indulging in them. ;)

well, if you have a friend from Japan who has Skype, you can call them when they're there. but, if you're going to call a land line there, you'll have to pay. or, you could try calling up a random person from Japan who has a Skype account but that would just be...weird.

Notice that plenny people on Skype have webcams; I always notice the icon next to the user name.  Problem is...  I do NOT.  Seems that I am unable to view the other person's image without one myself.

Am I missing something or can one view the other's webcam without hooking up one yourself? 

And...  does it have to be a "regular" webcam, USB2 hookup etal?  I got a working camcorder sitting right here (Sony with Firewire output).  Is it possible to use that instead of a computer video device?

Hey guys, I was trying out Skype today, but I was having all sorts of problems.
First it was coming out very garbled and slow quality, so I made an exception for it in the firewall and used port forwarding with my router, which fixed the garbled sound somewhat but it was still pretty bad quality.

Is my connection maybe too slow for it? I get 5089.92 Kbps down and 358.62 Kbps up

I don't use Skype too terribly much since none of my current friends use it often, but my username on it is Datalanche. *hides from Microphone in shyness*  :oops:

whoa... I'm pretty sure it's not your connection O_o my connection is 768kbps and I've used skype while playing some online halo, without problem.

have you tried the test call? is the quality of the test call also bad? if not, are you using headphones? I personally always use headphones when using skype, because if I use the speakers then my mic will catch the voice and cause some echoing and bad sound quality.

I did have a skype account before, but never really used it because there's no one to talk to.

I made a new one. The username's deft-monkey, like here, so yeah, as the 90s(?) saying goes, call me.

If you wanna chat, just drop by IRC or something because I'll usually be there if I'm online.
