Anyone here use Skype?
If so, do you like it or not?
Why/why not?
A friend of mind mentioned it. Just curious.

I have it but haven't used it. I guess I just don't have anyone to talk to...
My mom has it and is the one who told me about it. I guess she likes it. In fact, I seem to recall starting a thread about on here several years ago.

Skype is only free, computer to computer or if one of their computer phones are used, otherwise there is a minimum fee for computer to a regular phone, depending on the country called. We use it all of the time overseas.

The biggest downside that I see to Skype is the peer-to-peer network. They can use your computer as a router for the Skype network. If you have a fast machine with a fat pipe connection that stays up 24/7 your a prime candidate.
I use SunRocket for long distance but still have a POTS line for local calls.

I have used it to call my brother and some of the Admin and Moderators on this site. Works pretty good. I have gotten dropped once or twice and it is sometimes staticy (sp?). Works well though.
I bought a $14 card and it has lasted me over 150 minutes. Still have about 9 or 10 bucks left.
