<div dir="ltr">Hi people,<div><br></div><div>I saw Richard Stallman's signature:</div><div>> Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software.<br>> Use free telephony <a href="http://directory.fsf.org/category/tel/" target="_blank">http://directory.fsf.org/category/tel/</a><br>
</div><div><br></div><div>I'm using Skype to communicate with my friends. I mostly use it for instant messaging (not phone calls). I did use it for phone calls in the past, but I don't have a microphone attached to my computer - so today I use regular phone (018). When I used Skype for phone calls, I paid Skype for "Skype out" credit, but Skype zeroed my credit after a few months of not using their service - which I consider stealing money from me. For all that reasons, I don't want to use Skype. But Skype is a monopoly - all my friends use it. Even my grandmother wants to start using it. What free alternatives are there to Skype? (free as in freedom of course).</div>
<div><br></div><div>By the way, what do you think about Google talk? I use Google talk from my Gmail account (I didn't download the software).</div><div><br></div><div>I'm using Windows XP on PC. And Google Chrome as my browser.</div>
