Comparing Skype
MAXtel.ch
If you make lots of long distance phone calls either for personal needs, the cost of them can really add up fast. It is hard to enjoy those phone calls when your mind is focused on how much that call is costing you. Likewise, it is hard to enjoy a conversation with a friend or family member when you know you are going to regret it when you see your phone bill.
Skype is a business that claims to offer all of that and much more. They advertise that they allow customers to make free calls around the world through the use of the internet. They also promote how convenient it is to use for personal needs and in business operations. However, there are some limitations of Skype that you should be well aware of.
While you can use it with either a landline phone or a mobile phone, you have to be around a computer to make it work. Apart from that, the quality or availability of the service also depends on your internet connection. Last, there is the issue of not all areas having a strong enough internet signal for you to be able to successfully use your Skype services.
The other significant limitation of Skype is that both parties on the call must be signed up for the Skype services. If you are signed up but the person you are talking to isn't then you will still be billed for that call.
While there are some benefits to using Skype you also have to be aware of such areas where they are lacking. At MAXtel we offer cheap international calling from you own landline: 1ct/min !
