| Why Skype sucks!
Now don't get me wrong... I am not knocking their quality. The problem is I have no idea how the quality is because I can't set up a payment account. I have tried using a credit card on their payment page... it keeps getting rejected. In fact all my cards are rejected by their system. I have also tried using moneybookers (their paypal version) and THAT site either won't let me set up an account or they require ome lengthy sign up process. Has anyone tried to sign up succesfully? I would love to hear HOW!  |

I use it daily for work and it is great. Sound is excellent between computers (PCs and/or Macs), good from computer to wired line... and very bad between computer and cell phone. My only regret ? A wired line cannot call my computer.

Yeah, that kinda defeats the purpose. If you could at least choose what landline and mobile phone users would see as your phone number (although that in itself would be a problem rather than a solution) you could use your cellphone number, so people could call you back... But like it is now, I rather use my ordinary phone, my cell phone and iChat for the computer.

I use Skype to call at lower costs when there is not problems speaking openly in the living room (my family does not always want to hear me speaking business issues when they watch TV).

No, no problem here. Can you describe your problem ? Any firewall ?
