I just started using Skype not long ago also. It freaking ROCKS! I got a couple of clients that I am dealing with long distance and I have a long distance service that is pretty cool already (they have the prepay minute deal like Skype) but the money I put out for long conference calls pretty much sucked. The quality of Skype rules and the pricing is NOT BAD at all. Oh, and the headset aspect rocks also being that most of the time who I’m talking to is also in front of a computer. A few bugs hear and there BUT HEY that’s why they come out with new and improved versions.

PS:
Using my cell phones sorry contract based plan for long distance……ummmmm………H – E double hockey sticks NO!

Rock. Yes Skype is helpful. I’ve got folks in Colombia to deal with so I can’t complain. The thing is that while I can get decent long distance rates to Bogota (onesuite.com), who in the world has a phone at their desk anymore? Eric D was talking about Gizmo Project and I checked it out reading articles etc, about how they’re open source and they use SIP and whatever and Skype doesn’t etc., and I was totally sold so I actually paid for call out and call in but after a day or two, and not really using that much – yes just letting the sucker run on my desktop – It’s definitely not ready for prime time. Unless you’ve got some kind of podcast recording to do or something I can’t recommend it. Stay with Skype for now.

I use VOIP with Vonage which is good, but I would definitely dump it for something else if I could keep my number – that is the holy grail to me. Glad I didn’t dump it for Gizmo Project.

Shit – I just made a blog post on Jesse’s site! Props to Elmyr.

Cheers,
