Mobility: Thanks to Skype applications available for iPhones and BlackBerrys, many people can download Skype on their smartphones. Calling fellow users is free, which will lower the cost of your Skype usage.
Popularity: With over 500 million accounts in use, the majority of your friends probably have Skype.
If you’re not careful, the $14 minimum upload to your Skype credit can run out quickly. Price: Skype is relatively cheap when calling international landlines, but the costs run high when calling international mobile numbers. On the plus side, a fuzzy image might make you look better on a bad day. It’s also not uncommon for the video to freeze or to lag behind the sound. Quality: Skype has a high rate of dropped calls and difficulty in reconnecting these calls. One program that is proving more and more competitive can be accessed through your Gmail account, Google Voice. Skype seems to have taken the lead in the industry, but there are other chatting and video streaming programs that are just as good, if not better.
Whether you’re chatting with your parents, friends, or boyfriend, long-distance relationships have been made easier with chat programs that allow voice and video communication.
