How to Install A Skype Phone

How To Install A Skype Phone - In this mini-tutorial we will be looking at how to install Skype on your home computer. Skype is a free communication device similar to your home phone that allows you to speak to anyone around the world - free of charge. All you need is an internet connection, a Skype phone or a computer microphone (optional) and the Skype software program. You can only speak to people for free, who have the Skype software program installed on their computer, so get all your friends to start using Skype, especially if they live in another country. You can also call regular phones but this method costs money. Better to ask your friends to all buy a Skype phone and have free international calls!!!

Where to buy a Skype Phone (optional)

The easiest place to pick up a skype phone is to buy a phone from eBay. The prices of the phones range from about £8-£20 including postage and packing and they are definitely worth the money.

To buy a phone on eBay you will need to have an eBay account and possibly a Paypal account (most people use Paypal to exchange money on the internet). You can also buy Skype Phones from supermarkets, phone shops and General Stores. Whatever is easiest for you. I personally bought mine using eBay.

Where to find eBay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/ or

http://www.ebay.com/ or type in Google Search Box "ebay" and find the eBay website that corresponds to the country where you live.

You can easily search for Skype phones on eBay...

as you can see, different types of Skype phones can be found on EBay. All you have to do is buy one that you like the look of.

The great thing about having your own Skype phone, is that the phones can also be used with Yahoo messenger software and MSN messenger software, it is compatible with various communication programs that are freely available on the internet.

Once you have bought your Skype phone you will need to set it up correctly...by installing the Computer disk that comes with the phone. You will also need to plug in the phone to a USB port on your computer.

You may also need to plug in your Skype phone to the mains.

Alternatively... instead of using a Skype phone to communicate, you can use a computer microphone. Computer microphones can also be bought from eBay, Computer shops and general stores etc. When using a microphone You will speak to your friends via your microphone and hear them speaking through your computer speakers. Computer Microphones cost about £3-£15.
