I use Skype all day for both national and international calls. Plus, I do many podcasts and use Skype for that. While about 2 years ago the quality for fair, I'd say the quality is great, better than a land line. I always get connected, hardly ever drop and with call forwarding it makes a great mobile office.
I believe in one year I might have 3 or 4 unwanted calls from strangers and I always qualify them. Hey, no solicitors, I feel that is victory.

I only connect to people that I have in my contacts list. I would never accept a call from a stranger on skype--what would be the point? Also, I arrange all my skype calls ahead of time through other communications channels--so a call is never unexpected. ~~James On Nov 23, 2007 2:02 PM, Nicholas Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Does Le Monde think that ordinary mortals should use SKype. > > I gather one should not "return" phone calls in skype for the same reason > one should not click on links in spam messages. > > http://www.informaticasecurity.com/press/2007/VOIP_Security.html ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
