It works perfectly. Even calls forwarded to my cellphone are with pretty good quality. I use it every day.
el mejor en llamadas por internet
Great chat/VOIP program. Lets you even call landlines (costs money). Tons of users, support for many devices including the more popular ones like the iPhone, Blackberry, and even the PSP. It's designed as more of a "only use with people you know, like friends and family." because there's no "recommended user" or a good way to network with random people. But overall the best VOIP program out there.
Pro's
[1] Free
[2] VOIP
[3] Large users database
[4] Multiplatform on many devices iphone, psp, BlackBerry, etc
Con's
[1] You need 150 KB/s for decent quality
[2] Call drops
[3] Lacking social networking features. Impossible to find
someone to connect
[4] Long distance is laggy
So useful...
I like it ^_^
best software for communication!
Actually in 21st century you want voice communication and not typing text all the time ;) Also rather cheap rates for stationary phone calls abroad.
Great VOIP, chat gives some delay tough!
Get Skype! Best VOIP client I've ever seen. Amazing for distance communication. It's free!
Without SkypeCasts it's boring...
Its Good . But work bad on amd64 or x86-64 systems
It works perfectly. Even calls forwarded to my cellphone are with pretty good quality. I use it every day.
Beating ICQ, Jabber, AOL and MSN.
Very useful and efficient for file transfer when Adium hangs up on them...
