does it really work??
Have anyone used it before?

it works..

Well, it works from Computer to Computer....you need to pay to call a regular line....Yahoo, MSN AOL Messenger all provide similar service already.....

no buddy try it today... don't get it confusion... I have called many guys from this...

From PC to regular line?? Really? It says you have to pay for it even on the SKYPE website.....huh?

It works computer to phone aswell, but only within the US. You can't make phone calls from outside the US to phones in the US.

They came up with this feature like two months ago.

well..will that bill you if you make a call from PC to call phone or lanline? Also It works if you make a call to Canada as well...will they bill you for that as well?
Any Information will be accepted

No, they won't as long as you make a call from within US or Canada.

Skype, one of the most popular software used by people to make calls from computer to computer has made yet another advance. It has offered free calls to all the phones including landlines and cell phones from the computers within USA and Canada as long as the calls are made to US and Canadian phones. This is yet another evidence of growing competition among online communication business. While messengers like msn also allow people to talk over the internet, they do not have the capability to allow customers to make free calls to landlines or cell phones.

Until recently, Skype used to charge customers for the calls even within USA and Canada. Though the calls have been made free within USA and Canada, standard rates apply for calls made from other countries or calls made to other countries. This is really wonderful, isn't it? A couple of clarifications from the skype:

Note that if you haven’t bought any Skype Credit, your Skype client may still tell you something about needing to buy some before you can use SkypeOut. Just disregard that and place your call. It will work fine :) We already had this for toll-free 800 numbers where you could call them for free without actually buying any credit so we know this works. And it works on all platforms where SkypeOut is available, which at this time means Windows, Mac, Linux and Pocket PC.This also works with call forwarding. If you have call forwarded to your US or Canadian phone or cell number and someone calls you from the US or Canada, it gets forwarded to your phone or cell and it costs you nothing. If you get a call from another country, the forwarding costs you the standard calling rate. Note that this is not applicable with SkypeIn — calls received with SkypeIn and then forwarded with SkypeOut cost you the standard rates.

So, you can also forward calls? Hmm..it is one of the most wonderful news I have heard in the communication business. I hope other businesses respond by making calls free worldwide. This is how competition benefits the general people. One note, this offer is valid till the end of the year 2006.

Buzz your friends for free………..

In fact this news is dated 5/16/2006. So, this feature was there since then.
