Can anyone who has used this service for skypeout and skypein, give me some feedback. Also, what kind of bandwidth is necessary for an optimal call, I plan on using this mostly with wifi.

Also, can anyone else recommend any other dirt cheap voip providers, either pc or sip based?

thanx

not sure but Im assuming its comprable to regular voip service. I also assume it shouldnt take mor ebandwith than a normal voip router. I thus assume a normal dsl/cable service should be enough. They should have trial offers on this from skype. Just give it a try it wont break your bank roll. Then come back and tell us the benifits.

I use skypeout all the time to take to a friend studying abroad in France. 98% of the time it's atleast cellphone quality between us and they're actually using a mobile phone over there. On a rare occasion there will be lag or dropped call, but not often. I use it solely on my college's wifi connection, not sure what bandwith that is though. Hope that helps.
