Creating a skype account

An introduction to creating a skype account

Skype is a provider for connecting people through audio, audio-visual and/or online chat.

Skype-to-skype is free, but for skype-to-mobile and skype-to-landline you need to have an account with credit in it.  You can also SMS from a skype account to mobile phone or 'chat'.

The options for audio and audio-visual communication in Skype are flexible as you can choose between them at the begining of your Skype contact or switch between the audio and audio-visual facility during a call.

To create a Skype account, go to skype.com

Select 'create an account'

Enter your details (email and username), password and personal details.
