Skype is a freely installable programme which lets you talk via microphone or video to other people connected via Skype, similar to how a phone call is made. The advantage of Skype over using a landline is that it is free. To use Skype, you must have an internet connection and a microphone attached to your computer, in addition, to make a video call you must have a webcam. Signing up to Skype is fairly straightforward, login.skype.com/account/signup-form is the link from which you can create an account. You simply have to fill in the form. However, there is also a Skype Id function which allows you to alert the people you call to the fact that it is really you calling. This is Skype caller ID, which does have a setup cost, however after that it is free to use. Click "Set up caller ID" on the link www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/caller-identif
Then follow the instructions, such as choosing a payment method etc.
