    Skype for phone calls

    Do any other providers offer skype for calling. I signed up this morning and it works but just wondering is it really worth it?

    skype is decent for a voip program however I found it interesting that there were no voice options lol. There are a select few who use it, I guess it depends on your client group.

    you should experience it for another few days , if it does not work then try for its other feature SkypeOut credit, I think it is not free, but it is cheap and affordable.

    Were you using the mobile client? Voice options are the primary focus of Skype. It's VERY hard to miss..

    It lets you call landline phones from Skype. It's *super* cheap for calling internationally (something like 2.9 cents a minute), and domestically.

    SkypeIn lets you have a phone number for your Skype client so people can call your computer from their phones. This is actually a very good option when combined with a 800-number service, because you can provide phone support from anywhere in the world that you have a computer and an internet connection. If you happen to be a new business with a lot of remote employees, this is perfect for providing phone support 24/7 cheaply and effectively.
