My friends are all on Skype and I am not allowed to use it at work, so I would be so happy to call to a Skype account from my work phone. I imagine this like this: let's say the username is John1, I call a 1-800 number and then have to enter the username. I do it like this: I enter 56664466#1, which is: 5 is for "j" (first digit on key 5), 666 is for "o" (third digit on key 6), 44 is for "h", 66 is for "n", then #1 is for "1" - to differentiate beteen letters and digits I would place the number sign before each digit. (This principle I got from typing sms messages on my cell phone.) Then, my friend gets the call from me. Don't ask me about how/who to bill for this service, and also please don't laugh at my stupid suggestion - it just seems so easy to use and would be cool to have something like that. Cheers.
