I’ve played with Skype every now and again (by “played with” I mean “installed it and talked to Marcelo once”). However, I know that my mother uses it to talk to her sister in Denmark.
Anyway, until the end of 2006, outgoing calls to “regular” phones (aka “SkypeOut”) within the US and Canada is free. This is neat. I installed Skype again, and just tried to make a few phone calls with it (after pairing my new Bluetooth headset to my Mac).
It worked great. So, for the rest of the year, I think I have my new “work at home” outgoing phone. Which will save quite a few of the old mobile phone minutes, lemme tell ya.
Give it a try. I’m “mattstratton” on Skype.
