December 31 is the last day of free SkypeOut calls (calls using Skype to regular numbers outside the Skype network). I know a lot of people use Skype for calls. I personally use it for conference calls from the office quite a bit. I can switch to my mobile or office phone easily, but I know some people who use it for podcasts, and it makes it quite efficient.
The good news is that SkypeOut is pretty cheap. It will be $29.95 a year for unlimited US and Canandian calls, which I think is dang good. If you buy now, you can get it for $14.95.
So, anyone planning on signing up?

SkypeOut is great when I am traveling internationally. Otherwise, until “Grandma and Grandpa” understand technology a bit better (and I have a Wifi Phone) I think I’ll pass on the US calling area.
same here, cant beat it!
Already signed up for 14.95 a year. Can’t beat that!
