Almost glad I didn't give into the 15$s for Skype... now that I work I wouldn't even have much time for the bridge anyhow. Still no way I'd ever pay 30$ for it now even that I have a job and am making some money to put food on my family.

Is putting food on your family a priority to you?

Me and some guys I know are currently working on trying to reverse engineer skype so that locally, it believes it has the right to connect call for you. So unless there is some remote authentication on the skype servers, (and we don't think there is) then we might be able to change the program to work like that [give free calls again]. I will post the files if we manage to get a breakthrough. In the meantime, you could use gizmo, its five free calls, so use those five, then make a new account! simple!

Forget it, It's too difficult. Various Crews I am involved with have tried it and if you want to make skype do that , I suggest you start from scratch and program a new version.

No, but gas money, and saving money towards a vehicle and insurance of my own is priority enough for me not to wanna blow 30$ on Skype.
Aaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!
