Used to be good till they sold out


Don't believe the hype, Skype used to be great, now since they sold it and the video version came out, it doesn't work. Video is unreliable or doesn't work. People who are online don't appear as though they are, and in my case, when someone calls me the whole program crashes. It is no better than messenger (or worse), save yourself the frustration and keep away from it.

Rating: 7.5
Verdict

Although Skype 2 suffers from middling voice quality when calling landline phones, it's still one of the best free VoIP services around, and its new Skype Video feature makes it even better.
