Use a Wi-Fi network to communicate with your friends via Skype.
You can save money by using the Skype application to make free computer-to-computer voice and video calls. Skype uses the Internet to establish a communication connection between two computers running the software. Therefore, you can reduce your cell phone or home telephone bill by using Skype as an alternative communication platform. To use Skype via Wi-Fi, your computer must have access to a wireless network with a high-speed Internet connection.
