The latest version of the world's most popular video communicator, which precedes the interface changes introduced in Skype 8. It offers a classic and well known graphic interface offered to users without major changes for many years. Skype is a communicator that allows you to make text, voice and video calls, call landlines and mobile phones, send SMS and faxes.

The application offers excellent sound quality and efficient 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption. Skype does not install any spyware, is free and allows you to make calls to other Skype users at no extra cost. Only calls to standard phone numbers are paid for, but prices are extremely attractive.

In addition to the ability to call conventional telephone numbers worldwide, you can also use SkypeIn to set up a virtual telephone number so that any owner of a regular phone (mobile or landline) can call you on Skype. In addition, you can use Skype to send text messages, redirect a call to your mobile phone, or set up a personal Internet number for friends, family and colleagues so they can call Skype from regular phones at local rates. Among the really many interesting options of the program is the service send money, which allows you to top up the account of a designated person thanks to PayPal payment service.

The developers have also created their own audio codec, added the ability to import contacts from MSN Hotmail, Yahoo!, GMail and Outlook, and introduced the function of automatically stopping a song playing in Winamp while listening to voice mail (Voice Mail). The app also offers screen sharing, contact sending, birthday reminders, better call quality, better video quality, and accessibility features. You can use Skype on your computer or download it to your mobile phone to stay connected while on the go.

Skype works on many mobile phones and devices such as PlayStation Portable (PSP). There is also a wide range of WiFi phones and cordless phones with built-in Skype.
