Skype for free internet phone calls and conferences

NOTE It has just been noticed that only 5 people can be in a Skype Conference, which greatly limits this as an option. http://www.skype.com/intl/en/help/guides/skypeformac/skypefeatures/conference.html With the coming of the internet, people with body odor or halitosis, especially systemic body odor, have at last found support throughout the world, and discovered they are not the only ones who have systemic body odor (and in fact, it seems not uncommon). Ways of communicating in different forms is good for the soul and also good for mobilizing action to find solutions to systemic body odor. Nowadays with a computer and broadband connection, people can 'phone' other Skype members using their computer via Skype for free, anywhere in the world. It can also be used for free conference calls. All that needs to be done is download the Skype program (Skype is owned by ebay) and have a microphone and headphones, then you open the Skype program and it will install itself in a simple manner. You also have to sign up to Skype (it's free and only requires a username and password) and then you will quickly see how to make free 'VoIP calls'. you can get a cheap mic/headset (the kind they use in call centers) from the likes of Walmart and thats all you need. You use your computer to make Skype calls (mic : mic socket, headphone : headphone socket) With Skype you can call Skype members anywhere in the world for free by clicking on the icon on your desktop. the sound quality is far better than on the phone. It also has the ability to do free phone conferences, where more than 2 people can talk in a 'conference room' Skype makes its money by people signing up more fully for their other services, such as skype to landline. There are many of these 'voice over IP' companies but Skype is the leader and very simple to get started with, as well as being free. http://www.skype.com
