    Just a quick question.

    Will windows messenger allow me to make free computer to computer voice calls and if so what effect will this have on my download limit. I have just subscribed to the IOL 8gb option.

    THnaks in advance

    it will, but quality isn't great. But i suppose it is the most popular program, and everyone has it.

    It uses about 3kb/sec, so it isn;t likely to burst your cap, unless you talk non-stop for the wole month. Literally, at those speeds it'd take 31 days to break the cap (asssuming thats all you do).

    I use skype for phone calls over the internet. Quality is good and it works with firewalls.

    donwload software from www.skype.com
