Skype for Mac Alternatives

Skype allows users to communicate with peers by voice using a microphone, video by using a webcam, and instant messaging over the Internet.

Phone calls may be placed to recipients on the traditional telephone networks. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free of charge, while calls to landline telephones and mobile phones are charged via a debit-based user account system. Skype has also become popular for its additional features, including file transfer, and videoconferencing. Read more.
