Internet calls?

[kramdra]

Are skype and similar services any good? My phone has wifi 99% of the time so I would like to make free calls.

Ovivo went backrupt this week and still deciding who to use - I think I will go with three as signal is best here.

Your phone has WiFi 99% of the time yet you're asking us how good these services are rather than trying for yourself?

As for mobile companies, they're all bastards. Choose the one that offends you the least.

I personally went with The Peoples Operator who piggy back on T Mobiles signal. SIM only deal, £14.99 for the first month, 7.50 for the next 3 months, unltd everything.

So far so good.

Three plans have many many free minutes, y u need moar?

Assuming the wifi is not connected to some prehistoric 56kb modem you'll be fine using Skype. If you're meaning 3G rather than wifi then that's a lot more variable so as moppy say, you just need to try it.

Moppy, £7.50 for unlimited everything? Their website says "* Subject to fair usage" and their fair usage policy says "we reserve the right to limit service to anyone whose usage negatively affects our business" and "We reserve the right to impose network protection controls, limit the speed of, suspend or block your access to services, or disconnect you if your usage is excessive and/or not in keeping with that reasonably expected of a private individual" which isn't very unlimited.

Whilst we are on the subject.

Can I Skype Anita for free if she is on her iPhone and I am on a laptop with a videocam?

I've been using my Windoze-phone and getting Skype with her for free - but my phone has a back to front camera, so when she can see me, I can't see her, and vice versa.

If I used the laptop with Skype application, do I have to pay, and if so: is that why they try to sell you "credits" online?
