    why don't more people use Skype ?

    it's free and the quality is great but still so many people aren't using it.
    so I asked my friends why?

    most of my friends say: "I'm too lazy to install it"
    the ones that used to use it say: "No reason...." or "don't know"
    the ones that DO use it sometimes and still keep call my to my cell phone from their cell phone when they are at the office say: "oh right, Skype, I forgot" but the next time - they use their cell phone again.

    what's up with that ? what is wrong with people ? why isn't as natural to them as it is to me ?

            Many people is choosing Google Talk, I think because of that less people use Skype.

                    I think you mean, more people in the U.S.. Plenty of Europe seems to be using it.

                          skype has great sound quality, but I use msn rather, most people here use ICQ.

                            How about because it is unreliable at best?

                                Skype is great! I use it for all my international calls and chats with people that use Skype Amazing sound quality. I set up a phone number in States, and can take calls straight to my cellphone when I'm not around the computer. Skype truly makes the office - a wireless office.

                                    I use ww.voipcheap.com Mainly because I can call voip out numbers(phone lines) for free as well in many countries. So can I call for free in my country(The Netherlands) to the USA and many other countries. Also txt messages are just 0.05 cents

                                    And I like that I can use my 'normal' phone
                                    Questions?

                                            I think not many people use Skype because they are lazy and do not want to download it, than install it, and fill up the registration form. They are afraid to spend 30 minutes to these things.

                                              I hate the phone and rarely use it, and I already have icq aim and msn going, why add another?

                                              if they came out with a good skype plugin for trillian I would definitely pick it up, but I am not installing another piece of software just cause it sounds cool, aol and icq are the standards, i doubt anyone will ban me from working with them if I don't install skype

                                                I can always tell when one of our offshore customers is using skype:

                                                1. Phone rings.
                                                2. I answer.
                                                3. No response.
                                                4. I keep saying, "hello."
                                                5. Call disconnects.

                                                    Yes. ICQ sucks. I dont know anybody outside the adult world who still uses it. Come on people, move to something good.

                                                    This Sig is WAYYYY out of date.

                                                            Been using it for a few years now and no problems

                                                            Also use it weekly for international conference calls which can go on for hours - and it's free.

                                                            Overall... a no brainer.

                                                              I use my cell for LD calls. When my son was in Japan he had a US number so I could use my cell to call him there too. Just haven't found a reason to use Skype though I did sign up before I knew my son would have a US number.
