Why are people hung up on SKYPE, it very rarely is as cheap as the alternatives

Example: voipcheap.com, text to Phil 2.8 pence including VAT (Skype 4.3p), land line calls 7p (Skype 13 )and to mobiles 9 pence (Skype 16.2) per min.

AND SKYPE ALSO CHARGE A CONNECTION FEE of 7.9 p

Voipcheap, NO CONNECTION CHARGE


Other VOIP services may be even cheaper

PS for those who are not aware. Often people use the word SKYPE when meaning VOIP ( voice over internet protocol) rather like say HOOVER when they mean vacuum cleaner.

Very true, but if used PC to PC it is free, along with some sort of a picture if wished. That is really what it's for I think.
