I'm not sure this is true, really. You can open the desktop version of Facetime, open your contact list, and "call" an existing, plain jane iPhone phone number using Facetime. This calls my iPhone using Facetime, not using the phone network - but with the same AT&T phone number I have always had. I have used Skype a little bit, but not as a regular phone. I know you can get a Skype number, and I'm guessing you can forward calls to any phone from that phone number. But it's pretty slick that you can use your existing contact list to call iPhones using Facetime. I didn't configure anything. I didn't download anything on my phone. "It just works". This is the sort of seamless integration that will help Apple beat companies like Skype one day - if that's the direction they even plan to go with this (which I suspect to be the case). -Cameron .. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:329577 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
