Does anyone still use Skype anymore?

My wife and I use it all the time to talk to her sibs in NZ and parents Vanuatu. Long distance rates to Vanuatu are BRUTUAL ($1.50/min) and the video conf over Skype is the only way our nieces in NZ know who we are and recognize us. Try having long extended regular phone calls with toddlers without video, doesn't work well at all. We always expect them to be very confused when we show up without picture frames around our faces when we fly down to visit them.
