Skype is good, it is bad and it is ugly ..
Skype has great voice quality and very good cam quality - cross platform and can use across devices .... but there it ends.
When you have a crappy connection, whatsapp call is better than skype call ...
Hangout is also good...
When you have data constraints and slow connections - skype drops often and at inopportune moments as mentioned earlier by sks43 ...
And unfortunately older blackberry users do not have skype option.
Interestingly skype also has a new web.skype.com which works from within browser with a plugin. So far so good.
And yes, with screen sharing and group video calls it has its own benefits.
As for me, I love voice chat and in my mac I cannot use anything else *yahoo messenger not available for newer macs - so my best choices for voice are hangout and skype of which skype is easier .. convenient. I have it running almost always!
I am just an old fox in a new skin lol ... been here for years but out of a sabbatical ... in a new ID
Good day everyone! And happy chatting (no matter what medium you use and use whatever is best in that instant with that person!)
