    Skype Users

    I have been hearing good things about this service. And I have some questions for those that use it.

    1 - Do you like it?

    2- How long have you been using it?

    3- How is the reception?

    TIA.

    i just recently signed up for it.

    But I've used voip on/off since probably 2001!

    Skype isn't bad, but you have to pay separately for incoming calls versus outgoing.

    I pay $3.95/month for unlimited outgoing.

    I have an old usb headset I use place my calls. Works just fine. The reception/sound quality isn't bad for what it is.

    I'm sure if I had state of the art equipment, my sound would be better.

    But I ask people I call and they don't tell me I sound strange or anything like talking out of a tin can sound.

    Realize too, that you are tethered to the computer by the length of the cord.

    I recently tried buying a bluetooth dongle to enable using my bluetooth headset for skype. That was a good $30 I flushed down the toilet. Stupid thing didn't work and kept crashing my computer.

    I have a logitech headset. It is probably at least from 2002 or so. At that time, I paid about $50 for it. I'm sure you can find a better headset for cheaper these days. It still works for me, so I'm not going to be upgrading anytime soon.

    I use it whenever I can at home to save on my cell phone minutes.

      I wanted to try it so I could talk to my family and friends. I call many different states and overseas often.

      I've been using google talk and yahoo, because they have pc-to-pc for free.

      Thanks.
