www.skype.com for anyone who hasnt yet joined the revolution

Yes, I use it.

I have to say theat the sound quality and overall call quality is better when you use skypeout. I guess they are smart and allowing greater bandwith to paying customers.

As far as the headgear you are looking for, you can find that at any pc accessories store for under 20k won.

It's not really a revolution ... more like an evolution.

While Skypeout (meaning Pc-phone) calls quality is as good as a telephone, the quality is BEST when it's Skype to Skype (PC to PC) as the sound range and frequency is actually better than a telephone. I talk with my friend in Ireland every day and I can hear him as he makes breakfast in the background and even him buttering his toast, it's THAT good.

Yep, I have SkypeIn with a London number and it is excellent. 30 EUR a year and international calls for around 2 cents a minute (most countries) to landlines. The line quality is at least as good as any I have used.

Edit: I should have said: if I am not logged in, calls divert to my Korean mobile.

do they have skypein for Canadian numbers? would be nice for my family to be able to make cheap calls, especially my technotardish sister.

[Wangja]

Canada is the same ISD as USA isn't it?

^ Really wrench?
I have the same , i have a mac powerbook and it has a built in mic taht seems very sensitive alright but i didnt think it would good enough wuality for Skype though, but maybe ill give it a shot before i buy anything..

So you just use the built-in mic and built in speakers right? Is yours a laptop or desktop??

[coldstream1]

I have a Powerbook, and find the built in mic is more than adequate for Skype. Just make sure you are wearing headphones though, as sometime the audio from the speakers feeds back into the mic and just starts going loop crazy. I use Skypeout all the time, and people can't believe I'm calling from my computer. No Skypein numbers for Canada yet though

[Masterjazz]

Your both absolutley right...
Used the built in mic and headphones and the quality was superb, more than adequate...

[splok]

I haven't used skype, but I plan on trying it out soon. I just thought I would mention that Google's voice chat has the best sound quality of any of the voice apps I have tried. It only works on a person to person basis (no conference options sadly) and both people have to have a computer with it installed of course, but it's free and completely simple.

So that's a 'no' on Cda-to-Kor calls via Skype?
Could you do Kor-phone to Cda-pc calls?
