Skype has free apps for iPhone, Android, and Nokia phones. You can use your Skype account either from your computer or your smartphone.

You won’t spend a dime, no matter where they are in the world. Similarly, if you place a phone call on your Skype account to someone else’s Skype account, the call is free. So if you use Skype to place a video call to someone, you are using your Skype account to place a video call to someone else’s Skype account. Why are video calls free? All Skype to Skype communications are free. You would think that video calls would be Skype’s most expensive feature and you would be wrong. The most fascinating thing about Skype is that you would never be able to guess what is free and what you have to pay for. Some of these services are free and some you have to pay for. Skype works over the Internet and allows video calls, phone calls, instant messaging, and texts between people. As you see news reports coming from people in Japan using Skype, you may be wondering what Skype is and how it works to allow communication between people. As the tragedies in Japan continue to mount, and the infrastructure continues to unravel, many people in Japan remarkably still have access to Internet.
