Calls to friends and family on Skype have always been free. Now we’ve made calls within the US and Canada to all phones totally free till the end of the year.
Starting from today it doesn’t matter if it’s a Skype-to-Skype call or a call to landline or mobile phone - it’s free as long as you’re calling from within the US or Canada to US or Canadian phone number.
Calling with Skype is easy - select someone from your contact list, or dial a number and hit the green call button. This is how to make a call.
How can we do this? Well, we hope our customers will support us by using Skype to make international calls at incredibly cheap rates, or by buying stuff from our store - like Skype Voicemail, perhaps an accessory like headphones to make using Skype even easier, or even a cool ringtone to personalize your Skype.
i tried it out this morning and it came up on the caller id as ‘000-012-3456’
i just ordered up a moto pc850 dongle and a h3 headset to use for this.

i take that back; you can get a skype-in # for $12 for 3 months or $38 for a year. you get 120 international minutes if you spend 10 or more on credit it looks like…

How is the reliability? I’ve been on Vonage for almost 2 years now and it’s been as reliable or better than my old land line. I don’t mind paying 27 a month for something that works this well, in fact, I’d rather pay 27 a month for great service than $0 a month for poor service.
I <3 Skype. I use it at work for international calls. Skype-Skype is sooooo much clearer than a landline-landline phone call, especially to Viet Nam, Uruguay, Russia…
I used a mic instead of a usb phone though and people were telling me that they could hear an echo on their end (not sure if it was related) but sounded fine on my end.
