Just wondering what it is? Is it really free? Is this a good way to communicate w/someone that is going to be going to Korea for the Army? Does this work w/all the computers?
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!!!

Skype is where you can talk to people, and use webcams over the internet. It's perfect for your situation because , with internet access, you and whoever is going to Korea, can talk to each other. The great thing about it is if two computers have skype you can talk for free. The only thing that costs money is if you call landlines or cell phones with skype.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make telephone calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. Some services using VoIP may only allow you to call other people using the same service, but others may allow you to call anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile, and international numbers. Also, while some services only work over your computer or a special VoIP phone, other services allow you to use a traditional phone through an adaptor.
The main reason we recommend using VoIP is its CHEAP. With calls made via the internet your phone bills should drop dramatically, the charge for calls made via VoIP always start of at nothing and then will stay at a much lower cost than regular phone calls. International and mobile calls are charged at a much lower rate than normal calls.. How does VoIP work
VoIP converts the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over the Internet. If you are calling a regular phone number, the signal is then converted back at the other end. VoIP can allow you to make a call directly from a computer, a special VoIP phone, or a traditional phone using an adapter. In addition, new wireless "hot spots" in public locations such as airports, parks, and cafes, allow you to connect to the Internet, and may enable you to use VoIP service wirelessly. If you make a call using a phone with an adapter, you'll be able to dial just as you always have, and the service provider may also provide a dial tone. If your service assigns you a regular phone number, then a person can call you from his or her regular phone without using special equipment.
