You download it, you start it, fill in the info, choose a username, thats it. You can choose to have it start when you power up or start it yourself. I prefer the latter because when you activate it, people in your contacts list can see you online and they can and will ring you.

skype to skype is free, its skype to numbers which costs. Just sign up and tell whoever youre dealing with to add your email to their skype contacts list and you add them to yours. easy.

Your laptop or desktop obviously had to have a mic and speakers though.

just remember not to shout Laughing

Really need to use a headset with mic for best quality, the cheap ones are fine.

If you have a "smartphone" you may be able to get an app that allows you to use your phone to Skype via a wifi connection too. I use it on my iPhone and iPad.

I too have a Cwapberry as a company phone and they are rubbish. I also have one of the very first Iphones that came out and that is still far more advanced and quicker on Internet access and downloading than the Cwapberry but is four years older???? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Nor me the HTC phones don't force you into anything you don't want to sign up to, ie you are free to use whatever email you choose. I also looked at the tablets and ended up getting the Sony one over the Ipad as the Ipad forces one to use its stuff, whereas again as with the HTC the Sony allows freedom of choice. 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile
