Reviews of the Skype 2
-
CNET Review
The Good: Skype 2 is still free and easy to install and set up. Calls to other Skype users are free, and calls to non-Skype phones are competitively priced. Version 2 adds new features such as videoconferencing; toolbars for IE, Firefox, and Outlook; contact groups; mood messengers; and avatars, sounds, and ring tones.
The Bad: When using SkypeOut and SkypeIn, Skype 2's voice quality is merely mediocre. It gets even worse when uploading files.
The Bottom Line: Though Skype 2 suffers from middling voice quality when calling landline phones, it's still one of the best free VoIP services around, and its new Skype Video feature makes it even better.
