Just upgraded my Skype so I can take calls on my BT cordless (as well as "normal" phone calls) - so as long as they don't charge for Skype-to-Skype calls I'll be happy

All the crew here run skype, we find it idea for chatting to each other and dealing/soting out site stuff in real time.

Conference calls are a godsend for us

Didn't know you could do that...off to look

Is that a special phone you have Mark ?

**Markulous** · 17-12-2006, 14:28

No, it's a box that you plug into computer and phone. Answers Skype calls (as well as normal BT calls)

Still not set it up yet, so can't comment how good it is!

Skype has been charging for calls to landlines here for a while but it is so cheap it is definitely worthwhile. To me, Skype is absolutely superb. I have used it for conference calls between three people at the same time and I use it at home for normal calls more than I use my landline. I bought some credit with it about 6 months ago which came to about 11 euros. I have made loads of calls including to America and it is still showing 9.66 euros so the charge per call is extremely small.

Sure beats normal charges, that's for sure. International calls using BB and Skype seem to suffer from less lag than the landline as well. Much easier to talk across the Pond.

Cheers,
Rob

I was just surprised becouse Skype is not that popular here in the U.S.A.
Cell. Phone is the hype here dont know why since its a lot more expensive.

Hmm, well I wouldn't be in business long without a mobile (cell phone) or email but it's cheaper with Skype (and clearer!)
