Skype let’s you make calls to anyone in the world. Using their free app, you can call your long-lost aunt in Australia or your brother in Borneo. It’s a full-featured service that enables voice and video calls through the internet. Best of all, it’s free.

Skype can be used on your computer, your mobile device, and is now available on many televisions, Blu-Ray players, and gaming consoles. The app is free for download to almost all mobile devices, and for just a few dollars a month, you can upgrade your account to access many convenient features. For example, with a paid subscription, you get unlimited calls to the country of your choice, group video calling, conference calling, and more.

Skype is compatible with all mobile devices and is a great solution for budget minded small businesses. Calling land lines or mobile devices that don’t have Skype can cost as little as 1.9 cents per minute. Other features, like call forwarding and SMS messaging, are also available.
