There are a few 'Stephen's' in Japan. Which are you?

[zadok]

Mr Spankme, could we have a section in the profile, where there is provision for ICQ numbers etc, for Skype now as well?
Pretty please.
ps. This should be getting HUGE. It's brilliant.

Hey zadok, I am very keen to go on this Skypey thing but the dial-up seems sooooo slow and I am not sure if my budget will allow broadband! The family are getting pissed and blame me when they can't talk to their Mother on the phone. They bought her a cell phone why didn't they buy me a broadband? Oh well I'm still working on it. You will be my first call. Cheers John.

I've used dial up before with skype, was a little broken up at times but wasn't too bad. But broadband is soooo mucher better

Just found out that dial up works well with Sype as long as one of the parties is on broadband. So with more and more getting on broadband, give it a go if that is what has been holding you back from trying it.

Marty mate, I still havn't got around to getting that mic, and I've already recommended the software to about 4 different people...this is a bit of a breakthrough in technology really, I'm sure the Telco's don't like it! Wonder if it will get banned soon?

[zadok]

No way. I think they are looking at the technology for themselves.

Zadok, I have just installed broadband today and when I get settled I am going to download Skype. I have also ordered a headset and a camera (don't need that for Skype do ya). How does one begin? do I have to know your number or something? I will PM you when I am ready. Cheers John.

Good to hear. I only use a mic. I don't think it supports web cam at the moment, but that doesn't interest me so much. My user name is zadok_oz

Saves me an absolute fortune on overseas telephalony costs. I use Skype out as well, so that I can phone land lines or mobiles - still a shit load cheaper than phoning from your own mobile or telephone.

Lets' hope that it remains free/cheap should EBay buy Skype within the next couple of weeks, as it's currently looking.

Hey Biff I am going to bend this thread to acknowledge your new avatar, the old one was good but this one "rocks".
Back to the thread: Is E-Bay buying Skype to close it down??? or just to close the loop? Are you guys now saying one on broadband doesn't work with dial up after all?
I am a bit too late then. What a bastard!!! I was looking forward to it. John.
