We’re proud to announce that we’ve just released a new version of Skype for Mac. We’ve worked hard to bring even more features to you and we hope you’re going to like them.

You can now send SMS messages directly from Skype which means that you can always contact friends or family who aren’t online cheaply wherever they are - all you need is some Skype credit and your contacts mobile number and you are ready to go.

We’ve also increased the number of people you can conference call. Now you can talk with up to 9 people at once whether they are Skype or SkypeOut contacts – now there’s no excuse for not letting everyone know what you are up to, all in one go.

We’ve also made it easier to change your audio device settings for different activities within Skype using drop down selections. Hear incoming calls ring through your speakers so even if you’re not at your computer you can still hear your friend calling, then set outgoing calls to be made through your headset.

Download it now and let us know what you think of it by adding comments to this blogpost.
