Skype users question

[marcusfordus]

Anyone got/use one of these

http://www.voipvoice.com/skypecw.htm

My mate is about to purchase one and wondered if I could use one too ?

 

[ianrobbo1]

don't see why not!! :bow: I use a hands free headset with mic attached that way I can still type a load of bollocks while talking, and if someone drops the odd swear word "normally me" the kids or anyone else that may be near doesn't get the benefit of the language, it only cost a couple of quid and I can hang it over the top of my "puter" without it taking up room in front or beside the "puter"!!

 

[marcusfordus]

How to

So how do you dial up somone then on a mic./headset ?

 

[ianrobbo1]

I use the keyboard,!! or just click on to my "skype" list of contacts, :dunno:

 

[marcusfordus]

vague, but if you don't know

I take it Skype software is needed then.

Download the free Skype software and all you need then is any old computer mic and your speakers..

Most folk use something a bit posher ( I paid ?3.50 for a handset type thing that plugs in to the mic socket and goes 'in line' with the speakers so you can switch between the speakers and the hand set ( sounds complex but aint )

The software is easy to use and easy to set up.. A couple of folk have had minor probs with it but most have sorted it out in about 2 minutes ...

It is certainly bloody handy as more and more firms are using it as well as private folk.. And remember Skype user to Skype user is free..

Skype to non skype user costs but is is SOOOO cheap !

For instance, I have foned Florida John a few times and it is just pennies from the UK !

..... do you get the skype-me tag, on postings on here then ?

 

[ianrobbo1]

[Jaws]

Just get registered and give me your user name .. I will do the rest for you
Oh and I can even set the ccolour of the tag to match your bike ( as long as it is red blue or black LOL !! )

 

[Jaws]

Ok, your sig block is all set up but for some reason it does not show up..

Have a look when you post a reply to this and make sure the SHOW YOUR SIGNATURE is ticked..

 

[marcusfordus]
