SKYPE
Skype – the "multi-mode
communications tool"
With more than 40 million registered
users (a number that is increasing by approximately 150,000 new
users a day according to the company), Skype is as much a cultural
as a technical phenomenon. The cultural aspect of Skype is doubtless
attributable to its origins as a free, peer-to-peer software
application developed by the same bunch that pioneered the
controversial Kazaa file sharing program used to swap music files.
Yet unlike Kazaa, the predominant use of Skype is as a legitimate
means to bypass often pricey, traditional phone services and offer
a combination of free and extremely inexpensive phone options.

Voicemail
What is Skype Voicemail
Sometimes talking
on Skype isn't possible when the person you're trying to call is
offline or busy. That's why there is Skype Voicemail. You
can record messages and send them to your friends without disturbing
them. You can pick up messages when you're away or busy on another
call and you can keep the messages for as long as you like. In fact,
you don't have to be online at all for someone to leave a message.
