Just wondering if anyone has tried Skype (http://www.skype.com). If so, what has been your experience with it?
I got it....I have only used it a couple of times. Works nice and haven't had any problems yet.
We usede it heavily for encampment planning - worked great once we got everyone up and running.
They are also doing SKYPE-OUT through the end of the year at no charge.
I've used that as well and most people can't tell you're not on a "real" phone.

That's what prompted me to ask. I've had it on my computer for a while, but no one I know uses it. It's basically there in case I deploy or go TDY. Then I can call back home. Skype-Out actually makes it more useful.
I used it to conduct conference call interviews for encampment cadet command staff applicants. Worked great for me.
I bought $10 worth of minutes, which actually lasted quite a while (I still have ~$2.50 left). It's free through the end of the year, so we'll probably use it more.
I have digital phone, so I already get free long distance. Skype allowed me to conference call, which was quite useful.
