In this article, I’ll tell you how to get started and I’ll give you an overview of the free services and the premium service offered by Skype that will help you save money. If you are paying high telephony bills for international calls or conference calls I’m sure you can save a lot of money using Skype instead. But Skype also provides a number of other telephony services like text messaging and group conference calling that you can get if you purchase Skype credits or sign up for Skype Premium. Many of you probably know that you can send instant messages and do voice and video calls using Skype over the Internet for free.

Skype is being used by over 280 million users and Microsoft is placing high bets on Skype which they acquired in 2011.
