I was just wondering if and how many listers here use Skype to make
long distance phone calls over the internet? It seems to be pretty
popular and much cheaper then others such as Vonage. (Of course 9-1-1
is not available at this time, so this is not a substitute for a
regular phone in that context)

I'm also curious how those with powerbooks are dealing with the slight
inadequacies of their lower quality microphone and speakers, which
does make for poor voice quality. I have an old Jabra that clears
things right up, but my speaker jack seems to have a slightly loose
contact, so need to find a better headset. It's also a minor hassle
having to plug and unplug both mic and speaker all the time, nobody
wants to wear any kind of headphone all the time. So I'm just
wondering if anybody has come up with a better solution?

I normally use a Bluetooth headset when using Skype. I also have a USB
headset I can use if the BT headset ear loop is bothering me.
I only use Skype for international calls to other Skype users or I use
SkypeOut if I'm having reception problems at home with my cell phone
(severe thunderstom, etc).
