If anyone doesn't know yet, SkypeOut has gone free! So now you can use the free software on your computer to call for free to any land line in the US or Canada. I just got it, it's pretty cool. So now I can call in a sandwich from the kitchen directly from my computer... (not that I would, but it's still good to know). Just thought I'd share that, in case anyone didn't know (it's kind of a new thing, I just found out. Will save a lot of money on long distance should you be calling Alaska from Miami or something like that.

Good luck,
John

Ah damnit...do you know if they plan to make it free for people in the UK? (although knowing this country probably not).

It's perfect, I tested it out and called the home phone and a relative a state over... They can hear me perfectly and I can hear them perfectly, I would definetly go for it if I were you.

Skype is better than normal phone quality now. Or in my opinion it is.

Doubt it's better than digital phone lines, but a normal phone line (if you have a good mic) is pretty easy to beat. My cell phone is clearer than my GF's home phone lol.

Free long distance here lol

I read somewhere that SkypeOut was only going to be free for a year, just so as to compete on level terms with Yahoo's similar service. Is that correct?

Yes, it's free until the end of the year. So we only get 7 months to enjoy free skype out. Most likely they did this so that people dl the software, then at the end of the year, people go 'what the hell' and buy some credit.

I won't, but it's still good to have free SkypeOut for 7 months .
