The use of Skype.
I'm not denying Skype is proprietary, but Skype serves its purpose and it is
a helpful tool.
I use Skype because is the only way I could stay in touch and manage my
financial and personal affairs via a phone.
Show me a SIP program, that is totally free of charge? specially, while
trying to place a local call to a 1-800 number inside the United States?
while you are 3000 MILES AWAY making that call.
Most of the "free SIP programs cant access or if they do access a
switchboard, to call outside their network it will cost you an arm and a leg.
In my case, Skype, does meets my demand.
Point to Point, SIP programs or VOID protocols have some kind of limitations.
they are great withing their boundaries, but if you need to call someone
outside their network they will rip your bank card clean.
Their prices are outrageous. In Skype, I use it only to call, nothing more.
I don't use Skype to chat or SMS to someone but to call only.
Matter fact, when I'm using Skype, I use it with a USB 64gb drive. I will
not use my real name when logging but a nick name. Remember, I'm calling only
not receiving.
Skype meets my demand and need. I already, try all of SIP FSE libre
programs. They don't meet my demand.
If that is a price of my privacy, I'm willing to sacrifice then let it be.
Because I need a cheaper way and most of the times it is free to call home.
