"Unlimited Calling gives you a full year of unlimited calls to anyone, on any phone, within the US and Canada". I keep trying to find a way to call my family in Peru and this story keeps rasing my hopes then completely killing them. Oh well.

I'm really thinking of getting Skype for 2007...but after looking at the gizmo project from Bob, I'm rethinking now. I haven't tried it yet, but it says "Free".

There are options such as Gizmo Project (http://gizmoproject) that follow the telephone standards and provide superior quality. Skype also has security issues. Forget Skype.

How is it they make money again? I guess they don't really have to pay much as far as traditional maintainance costs go, but 15 bucks? BTW, Skype is totally worth it, I agree with Sydney. I mean for 15 dollars I should sign up my parents so that they can talk to family in HK more often without worrying about calling card minutes or hella international call rates. 15 bucks a year is amazing.

I was a bit worried when the changes were announced. I tend to call England from the States a vise versa quite a bit and certianly watch the minutes. While it is much much cheaper than phone cards, I still like the idea of unlimited. That’s brilliant. I was a bit worried when the changes were announced.
