Emoticon HQ Quick Facts: Skype Instant Messenger

Skype is not just an Instant Message service, it is also a VOIP client. VOIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocal. In other words, you can use Skype to make phone calls! If you are debating over Long Distance carriers, we highly suggest that you give Skype a try first. With no monthly fees, you pay a flat rate per call regardless of where in the world you might be calling. You can call landlines and cell phones at low rates and call computer to computer (other Skype users) completely free. Tell your friends to get Skype and you will never have to worry about phone bills again! Skype even allows video chat.

Beyond makng phone calls and video chat, Skype is a fantastic Instant Message (IM) client. Like many other IM clients, there are a great deal of emoticons to choose from, most of which are animated smileys. The difference between Skype and many other IM clients (ie MSN, AIM, or Pidgin), you can not add new smileys to your emoticon collection. Skype's basic emoticon set is what you get. You do have access to customize other aspects of Skype though: Your Mii, your background, your avatar, your mood, etc. Another great thing that few people know is that Skype is all about surprises, they have many hidden emoticons and animated smileys. Below you can find Skype's basic emoticon set, animated emoticons, and even hidden Skype emoticons as well as their secret codes and shortcut keys to start sharing your emotes with ease.

Skype is a FREE service and we highly recommend you download Skype for Free to make affordable and even free calls to loved ones, co-workers, and anyone else in your online network. Download Skype for Mac OS Here.
