Skype's strong point is that it made VoIP a no brainer. If you can't get Skype to work something is very wrong with your computer, network or connection. This is why Talkshoe or other phone bridges are important. You can almost always call a regular phone number. In the USA, you can usually call it for no extra charge these days (except from hotels or pay phones). In Europe many people now have unlimited dialing to North America with their DSL connections. Unfortunately, in Asia and around the Indian Ocean, calls are still expensive. Sorry.
Will this be talk only or will I be able to participate on line like the first time this took place? It worked great for me then as a HIT, got paid almost instantaneously, and it was interesting too.
