Skype announces FREE (as in beer) outgoing calls. wow.

linky to TFA

I just might have to give this a try now... Anyone else using Skype?

Nerds? Show of hands?

Pretty cool! I switched to vonage awhile back and I didn't give skype a try before hand. Let me know how it works for ya

I've used it before. The quality of the call really depends on your connection. I'd say if you're running DSL or slower don't even bother. It will work with DSL but you get a lot of intermittent connections and dropped calls if you're doing something else on your connection while you're on the phone.

QoS to the rescue!

I've used it a little in the past with mixed results.

I never could get Vonage to work with my home network for any length of time. just lots of crazy problems that their tech support never could help me fix. finally just cancelled it. but I do hope it works for other people. the big telcos need the competition.

Have an account....have never used the service though. This could make things a bit more interesting though.
