1. I have it.
We use it to talk to friends in Europe.

It's fantastic.

2. Yep. My wife and I use it to videocall relatives back in the UK.
It works very well and you can't argue with the price.

4. It's always free to talk computer to computer.
If you want to call a regular phone, though, they have very low rates. You can also set up a Skype number for about $25 per year and people can call you as if Skype is a regular phone. I've set it up so that we use Skype instead of a regular phone line.

8. I use it free too
My parents live in France and it is a great way to talk to them, without big bills.

10. I'm in Spain and use Packet8...
...small, tiny box that I plug into my router. The quality is just as good as land-line. I call from Spain (I've also used it in Germany, England, and Italy) to anywhere in the States for 20 a month. Can't beat it with a stick.

13. I think it's great
The cost of calling my friends in the U.S. would be too prohibitive otherwise.
