Sometimes Skype works just fine. Other times it is unusable.
I have coworkers in India and they prefer to contact me with Skype. That is computer to computer calls. Sometime I get echoes and drop outs with Skype. When it happens, I get really annoyed and after a minute I just give up on the call. Trying another Skype call sometime helps, but often does not when I have problems.
VOIP does not need to be crappy. Our office phones are VOIP and they work just fine all the time. Skype does not always work for me, but I guess if you get what you pay for doing free computer to computer calls with Skype.
I have never tried their paid service with an actual phone number. I guess my expectations have been set from their free service, that they are going to be useless. However my brother-in-law has tried the pay service and he feels it is not as awful as I would expect.
