Hey I've never used Skype before, and I wanted to know if it's worth it (or possible) to use it with a 44Kbps connection. Would beat beige boxing in the rain  ;D

The free Skype calls to any number in the US and Canada ends at the end of the year, just FYI.  So try it now while the free pranking is good.  ;)

Where did you hear that it's ending?  No more free prank calls.  That sucks!

yeah, skype announced that the free calls would go from somewhere in early 2006 to 2007 :(
maby it will contine- or be a very discounted rate, ar they will jack up the price to 6000 dollars a minute now that everyone is addicted. Guess we will have to get out the old redboxes to continue getting free calls.

To all of you:

 Try this: get a magical divice called a "Cellphone". It's not that expensive, and it has the ability to make telephone calls.


  LEET AIN'T IT?

Yea but the only problem with a cell phone is you have to pay for it.  Skype is (soon to not be,) totally free.  And with a cell phone it charges extra to hide your number, so it can get a little pricey if you don't have a ton of cash... like me.

Instead of hiding your infoz, just get a prepaid plan and give them fake information.  Want your name to be Bob Oppenheimer?  Put it down.  Cara Laughs?  Go for it.  Give em a fake SS#, too.  I know for a fact cingular doesn't check that for a prepaid account.
May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.
