Default Skype VOIP Service

Skype is a voip service which is very good and it is one of the best voip providers. Skype gives you excellent voice quality and good rates to make international calls, although calling UK mobiles can be quite expensive!!

Hi Preethi...
If you are looking for computer to Phone calling skype is OK... But you need to buy a sky adapter if u want to dial directly from a normal phone. More over its only one way calling. If you want an incomming DID number you have to cough up some extra bucks... making it more expensive....

There are lots of cheap VOIP companies... who offer competative rates compared to Skype.

Yahoo Voice is much cheaper than Skype. Quality of voice is a shade lower than Skype. Visit the Yahoo site for rates and other details. Typical call rates are 8c per minute to most countries. You can get a Yahoo Voice DID (direct inward dialing) number for something like $3.50 per month.

I taught that skype charged only 2c for a call to the US
If Yahoo is charging 8c that is really high when compared to skype

I was talking about calls between India and other countries. Yahoo charges 1c per min for calls within US and (maybe) 2c for calls between US and Europe.

I believe that Skype charges close to 15c per min for call between India and US/Europe but I may be wrong.

I used yahoo about 10 mins ago and I have been using skype for some time now and I would say skype voice quality is a lot better then Yahoo.

Skype charges 2 cents per min for calls to North America and you can also get a virtual number at a little extra cost which does come handy if you have a business serving US clients or even relatives who call you often.

I believe that Skype service is much reliable and the quality is also very good.

I have not tried any other provider, but no interested as Skype is more than good for me.
