    If this takes off I might have to invest in one of these.

    http://www.skype.com/products/skypeout/rates/index.html < < land line rates.

    i think i might stick to using me microphone and pc speakers lol.

    its not bad when calling another person on the net... to start using it to call house phones tho, hmmm, might be easier to just pick up the phone.

    unless of course ur calling other countries then its more than worth it.

    The problem is at the moment the skype cordless phones are pretty expensive but... They do link both skype and your land line together. i think they are about $135

    Just to say, im not currently a Skype user, however i am a 1899.com user and they offer FREE VoIP calls to land lines in UK, US and Canada and you can use the handsets above with the service.

    Only draw back is people cant ring you from a land line (yet!)

    Just thought id give people a heads up about this, saved me a packet!!!!

    Cheers
