I noticed a lot of people use MSN on the forum. Just curious what everyone's views are of the two Messenger's. I use both simply because not everyone uses Skype. Skype is compatible with any operating system, making it more versitile than most on the market.
Skype is great for every aspect, you can host or join conferance calls, call overseas for their rate, call forwarding, voicemail, and everything else that Messenger's host with texting.
I started with msn and all my friends have msn so it was the easiest thing for me to use. I have heard of Skype but have never really researched it. I like to keep things as simple as possible when it comes to the computer. I am not a really techy person when it comes to this stuff.
I'm not too savvy by any means and was a little foreign to me but it's really the same thing with more features. I've convinced all of my friends into Skype.
the thing with skype is that a lot of poeple dont have mics
You can still use the software like any other messanger with text' chats.
I use MSN and AIM for computer messaging but I also have that "Magic Jack" that's sold on TV. For $20.00 a year I can call anyone in the USA or Canada completely free. I get all the extra phone services that you could order with a regular phone like caller ID and call waiting. Also if I had a friend that bought one anywhere in the world I would be able to call that Magic Jack as well.Quote:

MSN is easy enough, and u can talk over it to.
Skype i had once, and never needed it
I prefer MSN too, just simpler
It's well worth the $20.00 a year. They give it to you for 30 days without charging you so you can try it out. It's only a jack like you plug your phone into that plugs right into your computer. Then you can plug any kind of phone into it (cordless or wired) or you dont even need to use a phone. After you plug Magic Jack into your PC for the first time it downloads everything you need. Including a dial keypad right on your PC.Quote:
