    I have used Skype many times. The sound quality is terrific, and the delay is mostly negligable. During general high-load on the net the connection might disappear for a few seconds, but otherwise it's a bingo.

    Especially for me, located in India with all my family in Europe; this app is a winner.

    EDIT: I wouldn't recommend it for professional usage when reliablity is paramount. But in all other connections, when low-price and 98% uptime is enough, it's great.

      Been using skype since its early beta stages. The current one I got mad about because they add emoticons.

                  Lot's of people rave about it.

                  And they recently introduced a cheap PC to phone service:

                  I plan to buy a headset so I can use it myself.

                                  Skype is great

                                  I've been using it for a while to call my friends and such, but lately I'm not using it much.. the phone works better

                                        ... I use Skype sometimes, it is great and minimal delay here. (Europe)

                                          fyi, Skype is run by same ppl as Kazaa. so is there Spy/Scum ware? up to you to find out if it matters. is there a security threat? most hardcore skype users are Gamers and lots of them buy a cheap PC, almost bareboned to run skype and only skype. I like it, but I also bought a cheap $99 pc just for skype. just in case... because of the horror stories I've heard. nuff said.

                                                        I've heard of it before. Which phones do you guys use with it? As I'm looking to get one.

I like it, but I also bought a cheap $99 pc just for skype. just in case... because of the horror stories I've heard. nuff said.
                                                          any other concurring horror stories?
