[Electronics-talk] skype help needed

[Pamela Dominguez]

I think you can only make calls to a phone if you purchase the version that 
allows you to do that.  I know it used to be called skypeout, but I don't 
know if it still is.  The free version is just computer to computer.  Pam.

My understanding is that you don't need a phone number to make a skype
to Skype call, but you will need a number if you're going to call
someone on their cell phone or land line number.
