"Skype - Free Internet telephony that just works."
Skype file transfer
You know how Skype to Skype calls are free and work? Well, we’ve taken the same recipe and applied it to file transfers. Since most things you want your friends to see tend to be rather large, we made our file transfer work with all the file sizes your operating system can handle. For most people, that’s
between 2 or 4 gigabytes. And remember, it works from Windows to Mac to Linux and the other way around. No platform problems.
Nobody’s listening in
When it comes to talking, instant messaging or transferring files, Skype SA has gone to great lengths to make it secure. Skype automatically encrypts everything before sending it through the internet. Likewise, on arrival everything is decrypted on-the-spot and presented as crystal clear speak, text or a file transfer
nobody can intercept. Yes, you heard it right - All the security in the world wouldn’t matter, though, if you couldn’t hear the other person. With Skype, you can. Skype SA is working with the very best in the industry to provide a sound quality far superior to what you’re used to from ordinary telephones. If you will bear with us for a moment here we’d like to share some technical stuff with you: with normal telephones you can only hear sounds from 300 Hz to 3 kHz. Not so with Skype; We’re all over the spectrum, from the lowest hum to the highest screetch. In other words: ‘F’ and ‘S’ will sound like the two different letters they were meant to, and in the end you
will be able to have a much more natural conversation.
Getting the words out
That also goes for conferences. It’s completely secure for you and up to four others to get together to coordinate tactics in a game, make one of those important business decisions or simply have a chat, even if you’re all on different continents.
Needle. Haystack. Solution
Searching for those long-lost relatives or just somebody to have a quick chat with is also part of what Skype is all about. We have what we call a Global User Directory. It’s a giant phonebook of all the people who use Skype. You can use it to search for people you’d like to talk to, people who have the
same birthday or people who just happen to live in the same street as you.
Is anybody out there?
When you find somebody you know or even someone you would like to know, you add them to your list of contacts. You can also write a little note to let them know who you are and why you want to add them to your list. Handy, if your separated-at-birth-twin finds you on Skype. When people are on your list, you
can see if they are online, offline, busy... or perhaps out to lunch.
When actual, spoken words fail you
Did we mention that you can also send instant messages with Skype? Well, you can. That’s nice for when you’re talking about a website and you want to send that really long address or if you’re writing a song maybe. Either way, you can send one of those little smiley faces along with your message. Smile to the world and the world smiles back.
