What video chat option do people use when talking with non-iOS users? Skype is certainly free and great and is one option. Has anyone used Tango, Fring, Vtok, Yahoo! Messenger or even Google + for video calls?

What is your recommendation as the best option?

Some of my non-iOS users use ooVoo to video chat I have an ooVoo account and the service works pretty good, too. Give it a try.

I know a few people like oovoo but I definitely prefer Skype over everything else. Just more well known and easy to use in my opinion.

I've tried them all. Almost everyone uses Skype, regardless of platform, so it's probably the best choice.

I tried Voxer, but it started adding people at random to my list and i was getting alerts all day and night long so I had to delete it. Haven't been brave enough to try anything else after that - now I just tell 'em to get an iPhone or iPad and get on with it :D
