Does anyone have it and can they recommend it?

skype is a really good program for keeping in touch with friends and it's the fastest for video conferencing, msn messenger is another alternative. But skype is good. Hope this helps.

Yep I have it and use it almost nightly (oooer!) I play an online game with other players and we have had upto 4 players all waffling at once on there- the sound's very good and the added bonus is- it's free!

I don't use skype, but skype is just one (probably the biggest and best known) company that offers VOIP (Voice Over IP) services

I do use VOIP and can throughly recommend it, as long as you have a fairly decent reliable internet connection then yes it's fantastic.

I have Virgin cable broadband and don't have a landline. This saves me at least �11 each month in line rental.

I have Skype - I use it for instant messaging, Skype to Skype phone calls, and Skype to land line calls.

I have a Skype In phone number, so people can call me from their land lines and mobiles at usual rates.

I have my mobile phone registered with Skype, so I can text from Skype for 5p per text.

I have Skype phones which connect from a transmitter connected to my router, so I can use Skype when my computers are turned off. (They will also work with land lines)

When I am away from home with my laptop, I can log into Skype and get all my messages and use it as if I were at home.

If I had a webcam, I could use it for video calls (dreadful idea).

Not once has a call failed me. People have no idea they are calling a Skype number. Very easy to block callers too.
