Did somebody test this service?

http://www.skype.com/

yes, and its rather pants really,

p2p && voip are two acryonms that SHOULD NOT go together

Works great for me. Have had it for about 6months and not one problem with it no matter what other people say.

Please define "pants" in this context.

please do, im also curious.

Skype is good I love it

pants .... not Trousers as you people on the otherside of the pond think.


pants in that context ... means s*ite

PotNoodle did and advertising campaign over here


"Potnoodle, everything else is just pants"

Thats awesome. I'm going to start using that in the states.

/me starts getting annoyed.

when will people see the true crapness of skype, its p2p, do you really like your calls going kazaa style over the internet, and your machine acting as a "supernode" ...

the quality is also rather crap in my experience. its also a dodgy closed source protocol (skinny (ciscos') is closed source, but not dodgy)

also as for the skypetalk or whatever their PSTN service is called, no thanks, i'd rather pay a teleco. or like $20 / mo to the likes of broadvoice etc


and anyway, nothing beats the feel of a proper handset (see cisco 7960 or WiSIP or cisco 7920 etcetcetc)

anyone with any sense knows that skype is actually rather crap....


if you want a softphone that works.... DIAX or Firefly

Hmmm Its not free for me, I pay for skype to phone peoples landlines and mobiles

thats skypetalk or whatever they call it.


Voip-talk.org

broadvoice.com
sipgate.co.uk

etcetc, use them, MUCH more reliable and non crap, and open

Shame skytalk doesnt have built in automatic phone dialer so I can program a list of phone numbers in and it phones them and plays them a prerecorded message
