It's been a life- and marriage- saver here too. Far better service (and quality of comms) than the payservices like Dialpad.
I only wish they'd allow some other means of payment for their Skype Out/In services - credit card or similar. The current payment system they use is utterly impenetrable to all but one of us here who've tried. Can't remember offhand the name of the company they use, but I'm convinced it's losing them (Skype) customers.
