Yes. I've been using it for about a month and I'm very happy with it.
I'm now using it for a large number of my international calls. All calls from Skype users to Skype users worldwide are free. You can also purchase credits (minimum 10 pounds) from your secure account page on the website and make toll calls to other countries. There's a list of countries and various rates on the website and a core list of 22 countries which you call for approx NZD $0.031c / min. On your account page you get a complete call log of all calls you've made, the numbers called, length of time and cost. Excellent for accounting purposes. The call quality varies from excellent to below average with only a slight delay. I've generally had excellent results on 256k DSL. I'm not sure how much the call quality has been influenced by other users on my network during the times when quality wasn't so good. For non critical calls it works great. The linux software is excellent and seems to have almost the entire functionality of the windows version. Speaking of which, my friend in Peru has just rung me on Skype so I'll finish there...
