Doesn't make much sense

I don't know about other people but I'm sure not paying $15 for something I got free before. Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Yes, it's worth the ~$15

I use it to make International calls and with the 100 free International minutes, the U.S and Canada calling becomes free.

The voice quality has been very good and International calling rates are 1/2 of what Vonage charges me.

I shall miss the freeness...ness

I found Skype to be a great alternative to racking up cell phone minutes. In fact it almost has better clarity compared to my cell phone. It sucks that it won't be free any more, but really, $15 for a year is nothing compared to Vonage or a regular land line. But if they are going to charge for Skype it would be nice if it came with an incoming phone number like Stanaphone or AOL instant messenger.

I recommend skype to everyone

I've used it for a couple years now, and since the Free-til-the-end-of-the-year promotion started, even more so. I will definately get the one year for fifteen bucks deal. How can you pass that up? Unlimited calling? And sound is way better too, no matter if you're calling to a phone or computer. Computer to computer is amazing sound quality, by the way, like the person you're talking to is in the room with you. I just showed an elderly woman how to set it up, she absolutely loves it! Long live Skype!
