The Pros and cons of SKYPE


Skype.com definitely has one of the better Skype to Skype phone calls out there. Also, since it’s free from one Skype user to the next, it’s also a great service.

However, I think they are VERY misleading when it comes to fees. When looking over their fees for calls, the price to call the United States looked very good…about .017 per minute. The odd thing is that I don’t even use a minute before charged more than this. I ripped through $10 in about 2-3 weeks of occasional calls whereas with Voipwise, it took me 3+ months before I used the $10. A huge difference! It will be good for eBay since they own Skype, but not for it’s users. It’s not much of a deal unless you use their Skype to Skype service, in my humble opinion.
