Given the cost savings, I'm happy with that. There are quality issues on less than 5% of my calls. You can go to and check out their store and see the options.

If you want to use Skype on a more regular kind of phone, there are a number of different devices you could buy, from a WIFI Skype phone (connects to your WIFI and acts like a cordless phone using your skype account), to a USB phone you connect to your computer, and a few other variations. In any case, I also have Skype set up to forward to my cell phone if I don't answer on Skype. This works for me since I'm a high tech consultant and sit at a computer all day. I use a headset connected to my computer. I've been using Skype as my primary business phone number for the past year and a half. It currently costs around $30 a year for the combination.

If you didn't want people to be able to call you and only wanted to make calls, you could do that. So, if you wanted a number that only could receive calls, you can do that. With Skype, you can subscribe for a real phone number and for a calling plan.
