For some reason my skype does not seem to work, something about a network error I've tried to ring sam on it loads of times but it keeps cutting out, is their any alternative to skype?
Oh and whilst I'm here does anyone know the link to msn messenger for mac?
BTW, if poss the skype alternative should be able to call skype users.
I'm guessing its a Skype client your looking for and not an alternative VOIP program. In that case...

Chinese engineers have allegedly cracked Skype's Internet telephony protocol, according to a Thursday blog posting.
If the blog posting is correct, software developers who currently don't have access to Skype's protocol could develop and sell alternative Skype clients. This could prove problematic for eBay, which has kept the protocol private since acquiring Skype last year.
In a statement, a Skype representative acknowledged but dismissed the claim.
"We have no evidence to suggest that this is true," the representative said. "Even if it was possible to do this, the software code would lack the feature set and reliability of Skype, which is enjoyed by over 100 million users today. Moreover, no amount of reverse engineering would threaten Skype's cryptographic security or integrity."
