More and more Canadian internet users are turning to Skype to make their telephone calls these days as it allows them to save a tremendous amount of money. Skype is a software program that allows shoppers to call other Skype users from computer to computer for free. The program can also be used as a computer to telephone system as it lets you call cellular phones and land lines for a small fee. Whoever you phone with Skype, you’re bound to get a great deal. The system also offers its customers other features such as video calls, instant messaging, and file transferring capabilities.

Skype isn’t just popular in Canada. It’s actually one of the more popular messaging systems in the world as users can have more than one account and the software is compatible with most computer operating systems. The program was launched in 2003 as a voice over internet protocol system and was bought by eBay in 2005. The company’s headquarters are located in Luxembourg, and there are offices located throughout the world.

The system is quite easy to use. You just have to download a version to your computer and then create an account. You can then create a contact list of fellow users and sign in to keep in touch with friends, family, and business associates across the planet. The first call you make is on the house as Skype offers it for free. Skype automatically encrypts all calls, chats and file transfers before you send them online so they can’t be intercepted.

The program is made up of two main functions which are SkypeOut and SkypeIn. SkypeOut allows shoppers to call landlines and cell phones. It also lets you forward calls to your home, and mobile phone. SkypeIn is a number that your contacts can call from any phone and you receive it in Skype. This allows users to receive phone calls in Skype from anywhere in the world.
