Skype was out for a few days and now is back.
I am frequent Skype user, have even used it for podcasts over at PJM, several times quite effectively when recording the kid in the shelter during the recent Israel-Lebanon War. We have been thinking of using it to record video interviews with people across the world. Very exciting service and practically free.
Now I wonder about their reliability. Is there a better VOIP service offering facilities like theirs?

It plugs into a usb port and the phone plugs into the device.
$40/year unlimited calling. Don’t know if it does international calls. Good luck.
An article on Slashdot states Skype was taken down (buffer overflows) by Russian hackers.
