Does anyone here use Skype? Just curious what people's experiences are.

I take it you can still only phone other Skype users? I have wireless internet in my house but my girlfriend plugs into a wall via ethernet (student housing) Can she buy a USB Skype phone?
 
You can phone other Skype users, landlines, mobiles, Zimbabwe, Tokyo, anywhere - obviously only the first option is free, but the others are all very cheap - I use Skype all the time to call my girlfriend's mobile in Canada and it costs me a whole 1.2p/min :)

Have used skype since beta. Fantastic product. Have a USB Phone, and all calls are made using that.

Also, they had an offer on recently, where if you topped up your account you'd get free UK landline calls for 6 months.

It's also free to call 0800 UK / USA 1800 numbers.
 
You don't need to buy a phone, you could use a headset / speakers & mic.

Once downloaded, it's free to use skype to skype. To call landlines / mobiles, you will need to buy skype credit - like you top up a pre pay mobile.

The USB phone I got came with 30mins free calls, basically it was a code which I entered into my account on the skype website, and got my free mins.

Edit: Whoops - it's 1.2p/min - so more than the 0.5p or 1p (depending on which was available) which I paid when I wasn't at university and had a landline, but still amazing :)
