[Techno-Chat]: Skype

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

I've just installed the skype App on my xPeria phone and am very pleased 
with both accessibility and usability of the Skype App, things have come 
a long way since I last used the App.


The most notable improvement for me is the screen that comes up if your 
phone is locked when a call comes in, the "Answer" button was incredibly 
easy to find.


I like the way the Skype App - on my Sony xPeria at least - defaults to 
"Speaker" mode though if people dont' like this then I'm sure the 
default could be changed.


The search button at the top of the screen - when Skype is open - is 
just damn handy rather than having to scroll through contacts and groups 
though this is still an option if you prefer things that way.


Just my observations, I don't use Skype for text chatting much so can't 
comment on that aspect.

I'm not a Braillenote Touch user but I am a Skype user and - as a Skype 
user - I'm very glad to hear that Skype is working, the more devices 
Skype works on then the better 


Skype is an incredibly handy communications medium and the quality of 
skype is just so good now compared to what it once was not all that long 
ago.


If you're an Office 365 user - as I am - you'll no dbout be aware that 
you get an hours Skype thrown in with your subscription which is handy 
should you need to contact Tech support regarding an Office 365 matter.


I've been using Skype full-time now for the last 8 years nearly and I 
use it for 90% of my communications needs, whether its sending SMS 
messages, talking to people on the PSTN networks locally or 
internationally or just for the plan pleasure of talking to other Skype 
users.


Subscription rates and fees for Skype Numbers are very reasonable in my 
opinion so the medium for me is certainly a viable one to use when it 
comes to cost.


Its hard to believe that once - not so long ago - my Phone billes used 
to be over 2 grand a year, now they're about a tenth of that which 
includes all my subscription fees etc.
