Connect your Bluetooth headset to your phone to make Skype calls.
Skype is an application that allows you to make calls via the Internet, rather than using a phone plan. Certain phones, such as iPhones, Blackberrys and Nokias, support the Skype application. As such, users who download the application can make free or cheap calls without using their phone's anytime minutes. This may be particularly useful for oversees travelers who wish to stay in touch with friends without incurring expensive charges. If you would like to use your Bluetooth headset while making a Skype phone call, you will need to pair your phone with your headset and use Skype as normal.
