CHAPTER 20: Social Media and Skype

Making Phone Calls and More with Skype

Social networking is all about keeping in touch with our friends, colleagues, and family.
Passive communication through sites such as www.facebook.com and www.myspace.com is
nice, but sometimes there is just no substitute for hearing someone's voice.
Amazingly, you can make phone calls using the
Skype app from your DROID. Calls to other Skype
users anywhere in the world are free. A nice thing
about Skype is that it works on computers and
many mobile devices, including iPhones, other
Android phones, BlackBerry smartphones, and
other mobile devices. You will be charged for calls
to mobile phones and landlines, but the rates are
reasonable.
Your DROID ships with Skype already installed.
You don't need to download anything to use it.
NOTE: As of October 2010, Verizon Wireless customers can only use Skype on 3G networks;
however, Skype users in the US on other networks can only use Skype on Wi-Fi.
