    Hey guys. Just wanted to see how many of you use Skype, and if you do, how many of you use their premium services. For those of you who don't know, Skype is a computer based VOIP service that allows you to make free calls to other Skype users. They also offer calling to real phones based on a per-minute charge or under a subscription. I subscribe to the "unlimited" domestic & Canada calling plan which costs me about 3 USD a month which is very affordable. The "unlimited" plans do have a fair usage policy in order to place limits on very excessive use just FYI. Overall though, I find it to be a great personal communication tool and use it throughout most of the day. So anyone else have thoughts on Skype? Anyone use it for their business or as a complete landline replacement?

    I used to use MSN in addition to all the other things I used but MSN was the one that I haven't used in a while.

    Sometimes - depends on my moody moods - I wish I never ever bought any credit, but it's generally good :)
    I'm a picky picker ;)

    I have just downloaded the free skype to my IPhone its free to use on wi-fi but if you use the premiem service you pay a very small amount per call much cheaper than any other phone charges.

    I had used Skype some time back and it was nothing like it is today! The quality and services offered are amazing. We use it daily and it works great on my new ASUS G73jh...its the bomb. I have never used their premium services but I don't currently have a need.
