Well I installed skype about a year ago or so to try it out. While I wasn’t unhappy about the quality, I didn’t like being tied to the computer and wasn’t quite ready to buy a skype phone or a gateway. Well that just changed. I called my sister on Skype the other day and noticed that my skype credit did not decrease. Skype is cheap, but it wasn’t free, so I did a little checking and lo and behold, Skype is free for US and Canadian calls until the end of the year. So now I am buying a gateway so that I can use my regular cordless phone with skype. My wife will never stop talking to her sisters now 😛
