Thanks.
The MCI card I have is about 2.5, or just below that, cents per minute at present.

Someone gave me a PC phone but I have not played with it yet.

With the Skye setup do you need equiptment and do both parties have to have the same equiptment?

I am often reading online I might be scr*wed by just trying not to surf while talking.LOL

You need no proprietary equipment for Skype. A decent headset would work best, but you can do a mic and speakers if you don't mind the sound-cancelling "half-duplexing" from time-to-time. As long as the person you call has a sound card with a mic and speakers it will work, but again, a headset is ideal. I use a Telex USB stereo headset from Amazon (call is not in stereo, but it's useful for music, etc.), but any will do.

The Costco MCI card is 2.9 cents and the Sam's is 3.47 cents.
