IfiKnewThen Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 feeling stupid. have a dull old webcam...but how do you skype and does it cost anything? do you need a cam? ricky please splain. thank u
Pyro Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 download it....it is free. Go to the skype website. Very simple. If you want to just talk then no webcam is necessary. I prefer having the webcam to be able to see the person.
carvidep Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 The cam is really fun to use with LDR! I enjoy just laying on my bed and chatting with my SO, and I'll take 'him' into the kitchen sometimes while I make some food for myself. It's also nice when we both have work to do, and we leave the cam on so we can 'be together' and work at the same time.
aerogurl87 Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Skype's free if you want to call a person's computer, but if you want to call their home or cell phone then it costs money, but it's still relatively cheap. My boyfriend and I have the US/Canada plan and it's only like $3 a month for "unlimited" minutes, although in actuality it's 6 hours of free minutes a day we found out, lol. But it's a great deal and you don't need a webcam as everyone else has mentioned.
carvidep Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Another thing about Skype that I have recently discovered: Your Skype minutes can be used for internet time when you are at the airport. There was a time when airports offered free wireless... those innocent days are gone. At least they are for Detroit, St. Louis, and El Paso. Now Boingo wants your money. Usually during the holidays certain airports offer free wireless for about a month, but most of the time you have to pay. Using Skype minutes is good for a pinch. are you serious?? that's awesome!!
JacquesA.LeFrancais Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Thank God Skype is free! We run up the minutes. I think the longest we went staying on Skype was about 7 days before it accidentally got disconnected. But yeah, if it wasn't for Skype I think we would both go crazy. Right now I'm visiting my mom so I can't be on Skype as often, and can't sleep with it on. I think we're both going through withdrawals. But he is coming in two weeks so this Skype break isn't so unbearable. LOL And I thought I was bad ^^
madjac74 Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 I have a question about Skyping with your LDR since Ive never done it myself (We both feel weird about being on cams). Is it slightly torturous? I mean if I were laying there looking at her I think Id go mad not being able to touch her. I think of all the times we have actually been laying together and I couldnt keep my hands or lips off her However we have talked about doing a date night and watching a movie together and it sounds like Skype would be perfect for that. The thought of it gives me those "first date" jitters though despite the fact that I have been intimate with her in every way possible.
Art_Critic Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 I prefer having the webcam to be able to see the person. I'll bet you do... Skype is pretty cool... the search function is also out of this world.. I found a few of my family members on it that I didn't know they were on it...

Yes it is torterous, but we both know that its temporary so its not as bad as it should be. I'll bet you do... That's a good bet to make.

It comforts me, that he's there and I can see him smile and hear him laugh and he's adorable when he sleeps. I don't want to miss out on that.
Author IfiKnewThen Posted August 5, 2010 Author Posted August 5, 2010 wow i have to try this skype. so now i have to buy a new pc monitor with a cam? i dont have a lap top . everyone thanks for responding i really appreciated that.
skydiveaddict Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 You can skype with voice only if you wish to
Author IfiKnewThen Posted August 5, 2010 Author Posted August 5, 2010 thank you sky! : ) and all of you
Author IfiKnewThen Posted August 5, 2010 Author Posted August 5, 2010 lisa this is good info thank you i have an OLD cheap logitech cam and i am going to download skype. does it make the picture better? and i am assuming the OTHER person has to be on skype too. darn i am technologically inept.
Citizen Erased Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 Some of yo uleave this on full time?...and watch each other sleeping?.... That is freaky. What if the dude forgets the cam is on and he decides to do a 3 A.M wack? or farts loud and you hear it.... What if he forgets the cam is on and he has a midnight accident and you can see them stripping the sheets? lmao what if they get up and do the moonwalk for the hell of it?... Really, you all do this? Why is this any different than Yahoo Messenger?.... It has voice and cam..just like Skype....hmmmm Well have fun watching each other drool in the sleep..or MY GOD! WHat if he starts sucking his thumb?.....how embarrassing.... 1. You aren't one to judge what is freaky. The kettle is really pissed at you, pot, for calling it black. 2.He wakes me up to get involved in said "wack". 3. I hope by midnight accident you mean a wet dream. If not, nice to know you wet the bed. 4. Skype has a far superior quality to Yahoo. 5. Seeing as the only person that would be drooling next to you or on webcam would be someone you paid, again, can't judge. 6. Nice to know you suck your thumb. Must say, not surprised.
