Let's say you have a friend - we'll call him Jack - who is somewhere else.
He could be in town, cross-country or even overseas,
but you need to communicate with him.
You could reach him the old-fashioned and expensive way
phone him, fax him, or mail him something.
But if Jack has Internet access,
you can just use Skype.
Skype is a little piece of free software
that you download to your PC or Mac
and it does a bunch of amazing stuff.
You can talk directly to him on Skype, for free,
anywhere in the world.
Telephone calls sound like this,
but Skype calls sound like this,
and you can even reach him on this (mobile) or this (telephone)
if his computer is off
by voice or text, at amazing rates.
If you want to see him live
Skype does that, too.
Most new computers have Webcams built right in
and Skype gives you free HD videoconferencing.
Hi Jack!
Skype is also great for working remotely.
You can just drag and drop files into Skype and transfer them -
directly and securely and FAST!
No more emailed files - YAY!
What's really cool - you can screen-share, so Jack can sort of
'look over your shoulder' from around the globe!
And if you and Jack want to have your own worldwide group call
Skype lets you conference-call 25 people at once.
even a mix of Skype and phones.
Skype works on every computer
and most smart phones too!
With Skype, the Internet becomes
your phone and file transfer and chat
and videoconferencing system
for talking and working with people.
Your friends and co-workers are now just a click away.
Take a deep breath!
Think of a friend - like Jack.
anywhere in the world.
get Skype - and set your conversations free!
