What is Skype?
Skype is a social utility that allows you to make voice and video calls over the internet … for FREE! Through Skype you video chat with anyone. Be ‘friends’ with multiple people on Skype. Skype will notify about who is ‘Online’, ‘Away’, or ‘Offline’. You can even have video calls with multiple people, a group chat! However in order to have the ability to be in a group chat, it costs money.
Multiple features are offered for the video chatting. While chatting you can make conference calls and IM, transfer files and share screens. 
Skype has many other things that make it easier to connect and share with people. What’s really convenient is all Skype requires is internet access and a webcam, which is already available on any laptop.
Skype also offers pay services like connecting the program to land line phones and mobiles for very low rates. You can, however, use the Skype app on your phone to take advantage of the free services! It works great with all smartphones! So, in essence, you can make a Skype call from your phone to a PC or another mobile using the Skype app without using any minutes! Not only is this convenient for personal uses, but also professional!
