I just started using it a few weeks ago. Works well. There were a couple of days where you could not make calls to a landline, still not sure what the problem was. Their support REALLY sucks, much worse than any other support experience I have ever had. Go to their BB forums to see how bad...
BUT, I can say that when it works, it really works well. I am using it to call my mother in Hawaii and have used it to call D.C., Los Angeles, etc. with the same great results. For $13 (10 Euros) I thought I would give it a shot. Glad I did. I am now going to ditch Packet8 and just use skype. I like the idea of only paying for what I use, and I was not using Packet8 enough to justify it. If people need to call me, they can still call my cell phone. Skype is going through growing pains, but I expect they will work out the bugs soon.
