Dutch CA also warned that SKYPE is not secure.

In what way?

They can be listened in to.

Oh, I thought you meant something more sinister. OK- well that might put
some people off, but if people want to listen to my boring
conversations, that's their problem! Still, might make me think twice
before giving out a credit card detail.... (though I certainly haven't
done so on SKYPE.)

I tried it. They say it's a mobile number, and direct you to call the
0871 number instead.

Oh well, worth a try...


Forgot to mention that Skype charges 10.5 euro cents a minute to
Liechtenstein mobiles (they recognise my riiing number as such) and the
sound quality is good IME.

I LOVE SKYPE!!!!

Dutch CA warns that it's not always cheaper, than a normal phone call
to some destinations.


It's cheaper for all calls I've made so far. Even to call local numbers
it's cheaper than the regular phone. And when I call Skype to Skype,
it's free!

Where SKYPE really comes into its own though is the portability of the
service. So, if I have my laptop with me, I can potentially get the same
kind of service wherever in the world I happen to be, assuming I have
the internet connection of course. On my recent delay at Schiphol, what
could have been an incredibly frustrating wait was alleviated somewhat
by getting on the wi-fi there. It was 10 euros, which was a bit steep,
but I did use it for half a day, and I was able to make various calls
that I had to, all through SKYPE. If free wi-fi rolls out the way some
people are predicting, it could be very useful indeed. I'm sure I've
read already about the developement (or existence?) of phones which use
VoIP- could be potentially very interesting competition for the mobile
phone companies' extortionate roaming rates!

Well, you can't use it as a mobile but you can use it in the house.
Unles your house is bigger than 300 meters....

The Dutch CA report was comparing the cost from NL to various
countries.

Yes. Even from here to other countries it is cheaper (by a lot). Perhaps
it's not cost effective from NL. But, again, free if you call Skype to
Skype!
