I use Skype all day for both national and international calls. Plus, I do
many podcasts and use Skype for that. While about 2 years ago the quality
for fair, I'd say the quality is great, better than a land line. I always
get connected, hardly ever drop and with call forwarding it makes a great
mobile office.
I believe in one year I might have 3 or 4 unwanted calls from strangers and
I always qualify them. Hey, no solicitors, I feel that is victory.

I use skype because it is trivial to do conference calls with it. I
only connect to people that I have in my contacts list. I would never
accept a call from a stranger on skype--what would be the point? Also,
I arrange all my skype calls ahead of time through other
communications channels--so a call is never unexpected.
