There can be quite a bit of latency depending on the configuration of the two systems and the traffic on the net. This laggy latency can also show up on landline calls, so watch out for that. If you find you are talking over each other there is too much latency. These days I do voice chat with Windows Live Messenger because the only folks that I voice chat are on there.</p> <p>I just looked at their website and they are saying $2.95 per month for unlimited long distance in the US &#38; Canada with no contract. If that's true, I'd say give it a try for a month and see how it works for you. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/skype-1#post-39935 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:07:37 +0000 FMZ 39935@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Jack,</p> <p>I use it but mostly if I do when I travel, It is good to use if you have a bunch of your friends on it, it is much cheaper than LAN lines or mobile, normally I got $10 to $20 on it and it lasts looooong </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/skype-1#post-39873 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:47:57 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 39873@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>so lighthouse do you pay for it or do you just call other computers? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/skype-1#post-39861 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:57:17 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 39861@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i have it too but i don't have anybody on it yet lol i just got it like 20 min ago </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/skype-1#post-39859 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:49:25 +0000 Lighthouse 39859@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I've got it.
