I've never looked, but I wonder if MS has an iOS version, or if MS just doesn't care about stealing an Apple user or two. :-( IMO, tablet interfaces suck.

Skype for Windows - What is it?
Steve Hayes wrote:
Skype is a Voice over Internet (VoIP) program that lets you telephone other people using the Internet rather than the public switched telephone network (PSTN). It means the calls aren't metered. If you're willing to pay, Skype can gateway its service to POTS and cell phone providers, too. You'll get a regular telephone number in addition to your Skype number. So you can call those users and they can call you. It's how Microsoft generates revenue with Skype. The program is necessary if you want to use Skype to talk to someone else who uses Skype. Skype to Skype is free. As such, it became Microsoft's replacement IM (instant messenger) service. Skype to telco costs money. Since the OP didn't know what is Skype, it is very unlikely he knows anyone that uses Skype so the free Skype-to-Skype service would be of no use to him. He would end up paying Microsoft to get PSTN access via Skype to make calls. https://go.skype.com/prices Can't tell what are the prices to cite here since Microsoft price pages are dead (looks like a script busy timeout). |
