Skype who has it?

Well

I have just got it and the pc to pc calls are crystal clear AND FREE.

I have the dual phone that accepts both online and landline calls and is cordless for both.

Most excellent.

So how many other Skype users do we have out there

Is that the new Suzuki Skype 1100?

Option missing, Tried it, dumped it.

I use sip phones. and have got rid of the household phone. I have 2 ata based systems that are in daughters room and wired into the old household analogue phone system so that hall/bedroom and outside DECT phones still work.


I have a cisco sip phone in my study with 2 lines enabled on it

I use voipuser as my service provider. Their offering is interesting it costs nothing for line rental or outgoing landline calls. The cover their costs by the connection costs of incomming calls. Therefore you clock up credit. the more that phone you the more you can phone out.

They also have the ability to allocate extra lines and divert them acording to time of day and week/weekend to other phones. Again free to you.

Quality is excellent

Well as BigApe knows I use it. I was initially very sceptical but have made an abrupt u-turn (as I did with the internet in '95) and say it's the future. Okay it's far from perfect in all aspects yet but there's little question that it will be.

However it's a pain to use unless you get a decent USB phone (plug and play). I've got a simple Yamamoto which works extremely well without the frills. Loads on E-bay at silly prices if anyone's interested.

I expect Skype to save me between £1000-£1500 a year on calls (business + pleasure), so it's worth checking out.



.

so how does it work then

can you only talk to people with a PC

No you can phone anyone on skype or mobile or landline

started using it then stopped but recently picked it up again.

bought one of those fixed numbers from them to get the voicemail service which has worked out really good

OMG more technology to get to grips with

Yep, saves me tons on calls to the family back home
