> 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).
>
> By the way, what do you think about Google talk? I use Google talk from my
> Gmail account (I didn't download the software).
>
> I'm using Windows XP on PC. And Google Chrome as my browser.
