Here are the facts and some information about Skype from Wikipedia...
"Skype" is software that allows users to make telephone calls over the Internet. Calls to other users of the service and to free-of-charge numbers are free, while calls to other landlines and mobile phones can be made for a fee. Additional features include instant messaging, file transfer and video conferencing.

It was created by entrepreneurs Niklas Zennstrom, Janus Friis, and a team of software developers based in Tallinn, Estonia. The Skype Group has its headquarters in Luxembourg, with offices in London, Tallinn, Tartu, Stockholm, Prague, and San Jose.
Skype has experienced rapid growth in popular usage since the launch of its services. It was acquired by eBay in September 2005 for $2.6 billion."

One of the major drawbacks of Skype is that it is not secure and there have been problems with hackers.  Another problem that has come to light is that when you make a Skype call, a file is created with your information in it that has been gathered from your PC. eBay, the company that now owns Skype, says that information is necessary and it must be gathered to prevent fraud.  However, eBay is known to share your information with law enforcement agencies and other agencies quite freely.  In fact, it is known as the loosest of the big internet companies.

Anyone using Skype should be aware of this and know there are other alternatives.  Be sure to check out one button wifi and the other links on this page to find the right calling plan and technology for you.  Remember this, just because something is free, it doesn't mean it is a bargain or worth using.

We want you to be able to use your PC to make and receive phone calls and understand that your privacy is very important to you.  It is possible to use your home computer, your personal computer, to make phone calls.  Therefore, use your computer or cell phone or wifi and have fun, but be careful and know that what you are using is safe.
Enjoy!
