Re: SIP is good

Skype has been VERY reliable for outgoing calls.
I have used it for ~ 3years now for making business calls, as I don't want my cell minutes to get eaten up.

Positives on Skype:

1. Reliable / softphone (vs. Magic Jack)
2. Cheap
3. Video conferencing
4. Portable (can be used on Windows, Linux, Windows Mobile, and cell phones in general)
5. International calls are CHEAP
6. Mobile client for 'normal' cell phones to avoid International LD charges by doing a dial around through a local # (can be VERY handy for mobile!)
7. Smartphones can use WiFi to get around ToS on cell carriers, and use service internationally and not have to pay roaming or LD.

the new interface sucks, i went back to 3.8. unless there's a way to have the classic view on the new version (which isn't very blind friendly, either)
