Hi John Yes, I understand that it is only other Skype users you can conference with. But then, it's not difficult to download and install Skype (though I have much less problems with Skype on my Mac than Windows users tend to do). In fact I had a Skype-based conference call this evening between myself in Perth, two separate people in Dubai, and one in Brisbane. All went without hitch. It seems that the video function of Skype does not work whilst in conference mode though, ie. conferencing is for audio only. Unless someone else wants to tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Calls to landlines is 2.7 cents per minute, rather than 27 cents per minute, so one tenth of what you thought. I wasn't aware of the connection fee, so thanks for bringing that to my attention. It looks like it's only 5.9 cents though, not 59 cents. I have no idea about the data usage over 30 minutes I'm afraid.
