OMG SKYPE FREE TILL 2007
« on: May 15, 2006, 12:28:06 PM »
Hello everyone,

just thought you ought to know that skype outgoing calls are free until 2007. This service provides a very easy way to record phone calls or play music right into the line! Just set your recording to stereo mix. Whatever your computer plays or hears is what you record! ANYWHERE IN THE US AND CANADA!

I've been trying to make calls with it all morning, but it says that I need to buy SkypeOut credits.  It even takes me to a page to order $10 worth of SkypeOut credit.  They should have at least made it work since they're making the big announcement about it today.  I'll dump my Vonage service for them if the call quality is good enough.

First of all, I am new...so Hi.

Second, I was wondering about the tracing matter. It would be GREAT if I can't be traced at all. I will be moving around with my laptop using WIFI with my headset. Good times.

Ah yes, I am currently on the voice bridge with skype listening as I find it hilarious and do not feel like un-muting my mic possibly letting out allot of echo.

I have found that if you make a conference call in skype connecting your home number and the number you want to call and have your computer act as the hub between the two you can get close to the quality of a phone and still get free calls to anywhere in the us and Canada :)

(But I’m sure most of you all figured that out far before me)

*One last note* On the bridge are all this people acting dumb or can they really not hear who’s voice that is?

I wonder if free Skype is going to make the voicebridge suck.  It's now easy for anyone to call in and blast mp3 files to the bridge 24/7.

It will make it easier to add people into it without them knowing the number. If you start a Skype conference, you can start it off with just the voice bridge number, then just add random people into the conference.

I sure hope it doesn’t ruin the bridge. I mean I am new to the bridge due to skype, it gives me this opportunity to talk to you guys which beforehand for me couldn’t happen. But at the same time it will only take a few assholes with skype to ruin the reputation of all skypers.

I rebooted and tried again, it works now.

Make sure you have the latest version of Skype, which dials and connect despite the "you need Skype Credit" message.

Phone number showed up as 0000123456, and same number shows up to various people I called. Number is untraceable to what I understand so far.
