Question for Skype users

[twickers]

If anyone uses Skype can you recommend what works best....Videophone, USB Phone or simply Web Cam and Microphone?

Webcam and mic works fine for me, very clear.

I concur!

With Skype the most important thing is your connection. If you have a decent line speed then you are sorted, otherwise lots of buffering can occur (especially on video calls).

Thank you, much appreciated.

Spoke to Jnr in Los Angeles on Boxing day. Built in web cam and mic, so low pixels. Don't know what he was using. When he uses his built in web cam, the quality is fine. Connection speed is most important for quality. Top site IMO. Science fact not fiction.

Webcam With Integrated Mic (logitech 25 Quid) Works Great For Me

Webcam & mic

I use webcam and separate mic, but one thing that occasionally screws things a little is when the other party gets echo from my speakers. Headphones would of course, eliminate that glitch.

I bought this for £18 last week... gone up a bit since, but quite a good unit

The advice on here is better than the gadget show. Thanks again.

My wife uses it to call Nigeria.

She got the cheapest web cam & headphone/mic thingy from Argos and it all works a treat.

And if you can get an excellent AND reliable connection to Nigeria then it must be bloody good !

My wife uses it to call Nigeria.

Does she take up those money-making opportunities?

I haven't a clue what it is you could possibly be referring to

You'd have thought they could have found a real dead parrot in the Tropics! Looks like they went to the trouble of learning the script

That was excellent, quite riveting.

Those chaps have a future in comedy
