Skype

About Skype

Skype video and voice calls, instant messaging and cheap international calls.

Skype for Android is an application that provides video chat and voice call services. Users may exchange such digital documents as images, text, video and any others, and may transmit both text and video messages. Skype allows the creation of video conference calls. Skype is also available for Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, or Linux, as well as Blackberry, and both Apple and Windows smartphones and tablets. Skype is based on a freemium model. Most of the services are free, but Skype Credit or a subscription is required to call a landline or a mobile phone number.

Skype keeps the world talking. Say “hello” with an instant message, voice or video call—all for free, no matter what device they use Skype on.
