Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on Skype? Stories of a good or bad nature?

I have heard only good things, but I have not heard a lot, I must confess.
I have a friend from overseas who came to the USA and spoke/saw his wife everyday via skype. Seemed inexpensive and effective.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

I was concerned about the peer network of the system, want to know if I can disconenct from the network at will or not.

I use it constantly. To keep in touch from forign countries it is tough to beat.
It is no worse than a cell phone. It will get cut off on occasion, but so does a cell. It costs very litte to use when you buy time also. I would recomend it if you travel, but if you have your home base, no need. Posted: Jun 3, 2007 10:11am Yes you can. They have an "invisible" setting which really does work.

If your friend also has Skype, then the talk and video are absolutely free! My old college friend now lives in Australia and we chat for next to nothing. I think the cookie is a little worrisome, but it might be worthwhile considering the pros.

I have "Skype Out" for calling any phone in the 50 States, Canada and Mexico and I have "Skype In" for receiving calls from any phone. The clarity of the calls are better than my land line phone and the price can't be beat.
The only problem I have is a weak signal with my Clearwire connection so there are times that I can't make a call. I am planning on getting this problem solved when I get cable access next year. I can sit in the parking lot of my local Library and make excellent calls with the wireless connection that the Library uses but that is most inconvenient, so for now I must put up with my lousy connection at home. I use a USB headset that makes Skype a real pleasure to use and I can still surf the net and do other things with my computer as I talk on the phone. "Skype In" has an answering machine type mode so callers can leave me a message if I am not online. Skype is just GREAT! Iven
