We are owned by a company in Holland and several people in our office
use it to communicate with the office in Holland. Computer to computer
communication is free and calling a land line in most of Europe is only
2.4 cents a minute I think. It can definitely save money however it is
better suited to personal use. However they are creating some tools to
try to make it more suitable for small businesses like us. One feature
is the "Control Panel" to group all of your users together and allocate
funds to a user as they need. If you are not calling computer to
computer you have to have purchased credit a head of time to make calls
to landlines. You definitely want to aware of the rates because though
calling a land line in Holland is cheap, calling a cell phone in Holland
is not, 25 cents a minute or something.
I use it at home occasionally and I think the sound quality is pretty
good.
Good luck
Mark

Our Sales VP just returned from Europe, Italy to be precise, and when he
was communicating back to our office he was using a service called
"Skype". Apparently Skype allows unlimited international calling over a
computer or wi-fi, it also has IM, and conference calling included in
the service. I checked there site and found out that they do offer
service in the US, so before I shoot myself in the foot I would like to
ask:
If anyone here uses or knows some who uses Skype ?
Would you recommend it to anyone else besides your enemies?
