I call the US a LOT, and usually use a land line.

having a bad connection I switched to skype, and it was crystal clear.. much clearer than my land line.

free calls if you live in the US

Posted by Ian Holsman Tue, 16 May 2006 12:44:00 GMT

Skype have just announced that US to US calls are now free for the rest of the year.

Unfortunately .. us non-americans will still have to pay :-(

I wonder how much this land-grab is costing them. Skype is more popular in Europe than in the US, so probably not much.

I also see in recent news that AT&T are trying to charge content publishers for using their pipes. Maybe this is the reason why Skype is encrypted… so it can avoid ‘QoS’ delays designed to slow down competition.

Does anyone out there know if the DECT-USB dongle will work with any DECT enabled phone?
