My ex-wife uses the free version (on the computer with the camera) for her calls to her family in Europe. She likes it a lot but does not use it as her primary phone. It does lock up once in a while and then she just Skypes them back later. I do ont know anything about the pay version or the headset/bluetooth stuff.

As far as it locking up. She has found that it has always been her family in Germanys connection.

I use the Comcast tripple play stuff and it works great until the power or Comcast craps out then I don't even have a phone line. I went and got a minimal cost "GO Phone" for emergancies.
