3.1 The Basic Idea
With the TR-10 Speakerphone, chat with your contacts using Skype-to-Skype or use
SkypeOut to call landlines and cell phones. Skype-to-Skype calls require both users
to have the free Skype software running on their computer. Skype-to-Skype calls can
be voice calls or videochatting.
SkypeOut enables users to call landlines and cellphones across the world. These
calls can be made by purchasing credits. Once you’ve set up your account with
Skype, you can log on to any computer in the world that has internet access, and
use your credits! To check on rates and availability, visit www.skype.com.
Did you know? You can use the IPEVO Point of View webcam to enhance your Skype
experience. Buy it today at www.ipevo.com
