Skype PC to PC

I just wonder a phone skype will do from PC to PC. I do not want a webcam, I just want something simple like a phone without the hassle of a microphone with handset. I wll only use it PC to PC. Thanks

    Yes it works fine with just audio from PC to PC. You will need some sort of microphone and speakers. The cheapest way is to get headsets but you can get USB phones which look like regular phones but plug into your PCs to make calls over Skype.

    A very simple webcam like the logitec webcam 200 has a built-in microphone and costs £9 from Tesco!

    You can't really go wrong with that and is more convenient than wearing a headset if you already have speakers (and don't mind others listening to the conversation).
