Hi

I'm thinking about using Skype to call overseas from Singapore, mainly to Malaysia. Is anyone doing the same thing? What I want to know is how is the quality of the call? Most importantly, does it lag or is it as good as normal phone calls? I am on broadband but on wireless so my speed is capped but still reasonably good. I trie using Yahooo to call overseas before through buying of credits but the call quality is bad and lags badly.

Have used Skype over a 512 Kbps Broadband (last few feet over wifi) quality was good enough that the other end of the line did not realize it was a Skype call.

You are asking about calling PC to land line, I assume. Lag depends on web traffic and distance, among others. Call quality depends on good software and Skype is great.

Try Skype for free, PC TO PC, to call a friend in Malaysia first. You will get a feel for both lag and voice quality. Then, if you're happy, you can decide to buy "SkypeOUT" credits.

S. and Canada countless consistent with month. then you definately pay around $12 for 3 months of coverage the place you get a US or Canadian telephone # so human beings can call you. in case you do not want the two yet nonetheless want to call telephone #s then you definately positioned money on the line and it incredibly is around $.12 a minute finding on the place you call.

There is often a very small lag but the quality is normally very good from Spain to UK and New Zealand
