Does anyone still use Skype anymore?
I know some of use used it in the past, but it looks like most of the threads, especially the skype name thread, are a year or so old. Just wondering before I finally create an account (yea, I'm a little behind the times).
Thanks

I did use it for long distance at my house for a couple years, but recently changed my phone package to include unlimited long distance so I don't use it now.

My parents use it. Sound quality is OK.
I have Vonage and MagicJack and would recommend MagicJack if you are in need of low priced telephony.

Re: Does anyone still use Skype anymore?
lots of regular skype herfs have formed and since they are relatively stable for membership, I think that people have quit putting out the call. If you want to get one going, pick a time (specify timezone) and what skype name the person hosting will use and then go for it. Lots and lots of fun.

I use it mostly for business, especially when traveling (it was great in Denmark).

I use it to talk with my cousins in Chicago, friends in Mexico and for the occasional SKERF (Skype Herf).

Re: Does anyone still use Skype anymore?
That is what I use the Vonage and MagicJack for. I send to Europe so I have a local tele and fax number. MagicJack requires a PC, Vonage does not. Sykpe I can hear the compression the most out of the three.

Re: Does anyone still use Skype anymore?
A skeeter once told me there are weekly skype herfs on Fridays. Not sure if that is still going.
