All you need is an internet connection, a Skype phone or a computer microphone (optional) and the Skype software program.

The prices of the phones range from about £8-£20 including postage and packing and they are definitely worth the money.

correctly...by installing the Computer disk that comes with the phone. You will
also need to plug in the phone to a USB port on your computer. Alternatively... instead of using a Skype phone to
communicate, you can use a computer microphone. Computer microphones can also be
bought from eBay, Computer shops and general stores etc. When using a microphone
You will speak to your friends via your microphone and hear them speaking
through your computer speakers. Computer Microphones cost about £3-£15.
