Some folks here are clueless about Skype and keep repeating years-old myths and mantras which simply aren't true. You don't need to pay connection fees or per-minute and you can call any phone you want, not just another Skype user or a PC. The Skype handsets are fine; I use a Linksys CIT400 still and it works great.

It is nice to buy a SIP-capable adapter and be able to switch providers on it. With your (fairly expensive) Skype hardware you can only use Skype. That's all. Had to put in my two cents, sorry.

Looks like they do have a per minute or monthly charges: »www.skype.com/allfeatures/subscr···ptionTab »www.skype.com/allfeatures/callphones/

pabster join:2001-12-09 Waterloo, IA	reply to sgarrand Oh, I agree. Proprietary sucks and it's my only fault with Skype. But I still use it quite a bit!
