I've been considering getting Skype. I like that it costs only $29.95 for a whole year of long distance, not $24.95 per month. But, is cost the only thing to consider?

Hi

I like Skype and as always Skype to Skype is free "i was talking to my new fella last night and he is downloading Skype this morning", Skype has many fetchers ((eg)) free one-to-one video calls, the interface is clean and smart and i find it works well with head set or PC Speakers and Mic.

Something to note with Skype - you can now use it on your PDA and Smartphone, which is great if you've got one of those fancy-pants WiFi enabled ones

Save the hassle, any relatives or friends etc, send them over a ps2 eyetoy, this is cracking as a webcam and i dont know anything that has yet to beat it's quality.
Anyway i will go on, yes send one over to them, and talk via webcam, no need to spend on calls in future, i did this with my uncle in aus, he loves, so much easier plus we can see each other also very clear may i add.
Only downside with skype is sending files across to other people, very slow, but video audio is quality.
It is free and should remain free
