The only good thing that will come of this is when backlash causes them to lose customers and they respond by removing the ads. If you are using a service for FREE then you are NOT a customer. customers bring in revenue. Oh that is what it is all about revenue, got you. Um yes people start companies so they can make money. Not give out shit for free out of the goodness of their hearts. Those are called charities |

Re: Please... I used skype as a free service for years.
I needed a phone number for a short period of time to receive calls. Since I used skype anyway, I got it through skype. I needed to call people in Europe without paying the $1+ per minute on my cell phone, I used skype.
Enter annoying ads, I find some other alternative that operates the same way skype has FOR YEARS, and next time something pops up and I need a phone number or the ability to call internationally I'm likely not to bother with skype at the point but rather whatever I've moved on to (or google voice). |

Re: Go Microsoft and its true about Google. How do you think they make their $$$? They record and sell your details, And do you really think the shareholders are going to let them role our products and keep giving them away free? HELL NO! They're going to demand a return on their $$$.
So suck it up and be ready to pay. They've already started it with Google Apps which was free for the longest time. |

Re: I was mad at first... not with me. I don't expect companies to service me with HSI due to I choose to live out in BFE and then choose to bitch about it on DSLR.
But I do NOT expect everything for free; but do believe you should be expected to pay for things.
And you voting for Mitt says the same thing; You expect him to give you something for free? LMAO! Yah keep going with that thought. |

Re: Please... Hopefully Webster's is a credible source although IMO it supports Wikipedia but I thought that was credible so decide for yourself:
Customer
- one that purchases a commodity or service
Purchase
- archaic: gain, acquire
- to acquire (real estate) by means other than descent
- to obtain by paying money or its equivalent : buy
- to obtain by labor, danger, or sacrifice
Buy
- to acquire possession, ownership, or rights to the use or services of by payment especially of money : purchase
- to obtain in exchange for something often at a sacrifice
I took the liberty of removing some definitions since they didn't apply...such as under buy as in "to believe in something" (as in buy an explanation). There are others but they are off topic. Look up the definitions if necessary.
Personally, I thought obtaining by danger as interesting. I'm not confident I understand that definition but perhaps it's as in freedom purchased by risking life? Regardless, I learned something new with respect to the definition of purchase. |

Maybe they couldn't make money giving out a free service. |

Re: I was mad at first... said by aciddrink:said by BF69:Awww you might have to actually PAY for a service. Isn't that mean of them to do to you? You should be entitled to everything for free.
Your comments get less constructive and less creative every week. Take a moment to look back at your own posts over the months. Every single one of them is "you expect FREE stuff?... you should PAY for this and PAY for that". Try adding something constructive to just one conversation one of these days. You made FOUR of those posts in just this thread alone. Not everybody enjoys the ever-increasing bills that we all receive every month. Not everybody enjoys their lives being littered with advertisements everywhere we go. Highways, radio, TV, mailbox...even car dealerships are gluing their advertisements on the back of cars. What's your response to that? I'm getting my $45,000 car for a 'steal', and thus it should become a billboard? Some people enjoy finding ways to cut costs where ever they can. The sooner you realize that, the happier you'll be. yes yes everything for free. What if the company you work for did that. Would you have a job? Nope. WHY? Because you couldn't get paid.
Do you get POYTS service for FREE? Nope
DO you get cell phone voice calls for FREE? Nope
But Skype you're SUPPOSED to get hat for free. And if they dare try to put in advertisements they are evil.
You still haven't answered the main question WHY should Skype calls be 100% free for you? based on what. What ENTITLES you to this free service? because you want it?
I want $100 million and to have sex Mila Kunis every night. Doesn't mean I'm going to get it or I'm entitled to it. |

LOL no but it would be nice to be young again and not worry about paying bills etc. I am what you call from "old school" when pirating what totally in the open. You're welcome to pay for everything. |
