Ever wanted to make unlimited calls to your friends without requiring a computer, a mobile device or even a direct internet connection completely free? Well then, today is your lucky day as Skype introduces Skype for String, an experimental version of Skype that doesn’t require a computer or internet and lets you make unlimited calls to your family and friends. Check out this handy guide on using Skype for String.
With Skype for String you can:
(Calls to phones and mobiles are not possible with Skype for String, you’ll need a little Skype Credit and a version of Skype that’s connected to the internet to do this.)
How does it work?
Skype for String relies on a recently discovered, natural form of peer-to-peer technology that allows your voice to travel over long distances without electricity. All you’ll need to get started is a set of cups and a string with a minimum bandwidth of 5mm. Skype for String will work with any cup and string, but for the best results, we suggest using a Skype certified set.
So guys, will you start using Skype for String today?

Honestly, this type of posts degrades the image of the site. How can one take this site seriously when it posts garbage like this. Is the site run by 4 year olds?
It’s April fools day. . .
Nope… Mostly techs and geeks with a sense of humor and the nads to not post anonymously.
April fools, learn to laugh once in awhile, life is pretty boring when everything is so serious.
