“I've been using this application for 2 years”

Jack C.
3/12/14

I've been using this application for 2 years. It keeps my family and I connect virtually. Video chatting makes us feel that we're so close. Skype is a great instant messenger to keep in contact with friends. It has better video quality than other instant messengers, e.g. Yahoo and MSN.

“Site-jabber protecting skype?”

Cannot search members on Skype, returns error messages. Messages undelivered, never received. I believe Skype is hacked, probably internally by it's own staff. Do not trust this app with any personal info. Dishonest charges to bank without permission. Corrupt company earlier comment did not show here, This site not tor friendly, they want to track you.

I use Skype for instant messaging, call, and chat everyday. I use it for personal use and for my work. It's the best means to get in touch with friends, family and workmates.

Don't even hesitate to use Skype. One of the most reliable for video chatting and free long distance, who doesn't love that. I've enjoyed their service immensely.

My Skype account was hacked. (I since learned there is a way to do that and I dont want to give too much information as to how that was done. It was very obvious as to what they did when I looked at my account.) Through the auto recharge set up with my PayPal and then with my bank account the hackers managed to take hundreds of euro from me. They ran through my Skype credit and straight into the auto recharge which is linked with my PayPal account. Multiple repeat takings emptied my PayPal balance inside a minute. Then in a domino effect they used the same method with the auto recharge function to get into my bank account. By the time more than 400 euro was taken my banks fraud detection shut it down. In the end the hackers cleaned me out of more than 600 euro. My Bank paid me back as did PayPal. The scam and hack is/was very obvious. Could not be calls as autorecharge went through consequetively within seconds running into hundreds of euro. Skype did not and have not been co operative at all with this. Disgusted with Skype and strongly recommend everyone to not have auto recharge set up with Skype. You are open to the same hacking and scam I was and your bank may not be as supportive as mine was. Skype certainly wont be.

Effective and 100% efficient. I only wish it didn't cost so much for the services that require a fee, especially in this day and age

Skype is most secure site for video calling for office meetings or family video calls, etc. And a very good option for conference calls as well.

It's good because everyone has an account, but Zoom is much better for business style meetings and conferences
