There are dozens of cheaper VoIP services out there undercutting Skype: http://www.fring.com - use any SIP provider here http://www.truphone.com - works on Iphone http://www.voipian.com - calls for 1 cent ...and the list goes on. So why even use Skype when they're clearly overpriced? I don’t get it why people overpay for international calls on Skype. There are dozens of cheaper VoIP services out there undercutting Skype:
